Hurst Online Review Study Guide
As you begin this review, we ask for you to have an attitude of openness to reviewing the NCLEX® way.
Graduates who are still worried about tests they took in school and procedures they saw in the hospital lose
focus and sacrifice valuable time. Stay focused on the material you are covering right now in the online review.
We know this is an exciting time for you, and we are so pleased to be your NCLEX® review company. You need to
be focused, dedicated and ready to prepare yourself to be a safe, competent, brand-new nurse.
General Instructions:
Step 1:
• You will see PDF documents across from each lecture, which are your student pages. These fill-in-the-
blank student pages are your notes to study after you have watched all the videos. Copy these pages as
you come to each lecture, and save them in a notebook for safekeeping.
• Some students like to write in a blue ink pen so that there is a contrast between the questions and the
answers.
• Watch the lectures in order as they are listed starting with the “Introduction.” The material is
integrated, and each lecture builds on the material in previous lectures. If you watch them out of order,
you will not develop the depth of understanding required to multi-logically think.
• Most lectures can be watched in 50-minute increments, so be sure you have this amount of time. It is
not recommended that you take a break during the lectures.
• The amount of time required to complete this review is based on your study habits and time available.
It will take a minimum of 30 hours to watch the videos, and then you should study to understand the
material.
• Watch all the medical surgical lectures, and then you will see the “Final Thoughts” video. The
information in this lecture will guide you through the remainder specialty lectures and instruct you
on how to study. You should be able to say the material as we say it and know it without any doubts or
hesitations.
Step 2:
• Watch “Maternity,” “Complications of Maternity,” “NCLEX® Strategy Questions” and “Pediatrics” to
focus on specialty areas. If you have had difficulty with these areas in school, you may want to watch
them more than once.
