Hurst NCLEX Review

Straightforward Format and Engaging Videos

Hurst focuses on a study format that introduces information in a logical, easy-to-remember pattern. The course emphasizes the content that is most likely to appear on the exam. The videos are taught by upbeat, southern women who seem genuinely interested in helping you understand and retain the material. (Be aware that their southern accents are often very pronounced, which some students find charming, and others find difficult to understand or even distracting.)

Practice Exams

Hurst offers multiple practice exams to help prepare students for the actual NCLEX exam. These practice exams allow students to answer realistic NCLEX questions in a simulated test experience once they have covered the core content and strategies in the review. Hurst NCLEX-RN students have access to 6 practice exams, while NCLEX-PN students can test themselves on 3 practice exams. All of the practice exams contain 125 questions and are timed at 188 minutes (the actual exam may be shorter or longer, depending on your performance on the questions you answer).

Critical Thinking Course

Part of the Hurst NCLEX prep course focuses on critical thinking and the comprehension of exam questions and formats in order to boost learning potential. This is helpful in case you encounter completely new questions on the NCLEX exam. You’ll have the critical thinking skills to answer questions logically, rather than trying to rely on a simple memorization of facts to get you through the exam.

Pass Guarantee

Hurst offers a “pass the first time” guarantee. You can either get a full refund or opt to extend your access to the course for an additional 45 days. However, there are several stipulations, including that you must have completed the entire prep course and followed all instructor recommendations. Please see Hurst’s NCLEX website for additional details and requirements.

Limited 90-Day Access to Lectures

Hurst Online Review students are given 90 days of access to the Core Content lectures and 1 year’s worth of access to the practice exams. If additional time is required, 30 day extensions must be purchased for $50.

Less Comprehensive than Other Courses

Hurst does a good job of simplifying complex information and making it stick, but it doesn’t cover as much material as some of the other review courses on the market. Although you probably don’t want to get bogged down by a course that teaches you everything about nursing, you also want to make sure you cover all of the information before you head into the exam. Many students use Hurst in addition to other study materials.
