Studying for Boards

[liltapper21]

I have bought the Kaplan review book, the latest, instead of paying for the 3-4 day review class itself. Also I have paid for an 8 week subscription to the NCSBN site online review, which should be sufficient time until I take my boards. The question is, I have noticed the NCSBN is all content, very good and detailed. I have registered for a seat (but still owe the remainder) for HURST. I have heard Hurst was content based. If it is basically the same as what I am getting with the online NCSBN, but I know hurst is a class you actually attend for 3-4 days, should I even bother with hurst? I mean is there any more value to it beyond Content, because with NCSBN, I am getting tons and tons of content (like going back to nursing school in a few weeks). I am debating if I should back out because I have content stuff already, or if theres any other value to It that I should attend? I have a job lined up I just need to pass boards. Any advice would be great! thanks!

Hi

my suggestion is to go ahead and take hurst classes...they r good in many different ways. They also offer you online 'Q Review' questions. They also offer audio/video online lessons..all the best

I'm using Hurst review right now. The online video version so no live review. The videos are interesting and thorough.

The NCSBN is all content. Sure video review may help many, I can handle content alone, but is Hurst basically re-teaching 2 years of nursing school (or however long anyone has gone) or is it strategy included? I guess I just didn't want to invest on a double-up of something, but I do want to pass my boards!

My friend purchased Hurst and NCSBN! They do content but in different ways. It really is put to you. I have friends who passed just using NCSBN and friends who mainly used Hurst [: just utilize them the best you can!

I am pretty sure that Hurst still offers a one week free trial. Sign up for that, and then decide if you think it would help you based on your own experience.
