two weeks left til my exam, which nclex pn review should i invest in?

[mfierce]

I'm thinking of getting Kaplan or Hurst - both are pricey but I want to pass on my first try. Which program helped you out the most? I need to review content. Also for those who went with Kaplan did you sign up for the classes or just the qtrainer (please give some input). Thanks ! ~stressed

The last two weeks before the exam can be tough. (Stress) Why not stick to what you have been using all this time?

Hurst is good for content review, but I am concerned about the amount of time left to spend going over the material.

Just remember Maslow Hierarchy of needs. Physiological needs is the highest priority then safety! 1. Maintaining airway and respiration 2. maintaining circulation 3. nutrition/elimination 4. sleep. If its a safety question focus on a safety answer. If it's a communication question focus on the clients feeling in the answers by remembering the communications tools for example: being silent and offering self. If it's a teaching question you always want to focus on the answer that focuses on client readiness to learn. Also remember you always assess prior to initiating or implementing.

My school makes us pay for the Kaplan NCLEX test prep. It's awful and I wish I didn't have to waste my money on it. Their prep tests have very limited numbers of questions, are very poorly constructed (words missing from sentences, misspellings, etc), and its rather expensive.
