It is my great pleasure to write the foreword for Hurst Review Services’ NCLEX-RN® Review. I can personally attest to Hurst Review Services’ superior teaching methods, not only as a former instructor with the company but as a recent student. I took Hurst Review Services’ live course in December of 2002 and was amazed! Marlene Hurst’s teaching methods made all of the difficult concepts I had learned in nursing school just click. I can still remember speaking with friends who took the review course with me: we said that we wished nursing school were taught the Marlene way. It would have made nursing school more enjoyable and less difficult.
After taking Marlene Hurst’s review course, I realized that learning didn’t have to be so stressful . . . it could actually be fun. With the help of Hurst Review Services, I did just like Marlene always says: I passed the NCLEX-RN® the FIRST time and got on with my life! Even after passing the NCLEX-RN® and going into practice as a new graduate critical care nurse, I found myself referring back to my Hurst Review Services materials to refresh my memory of the many concepts I was being asked to apply in the hospital. Thanks to Hurst Review Services, I felt that my critical thinking skills were at a new all-time high. It is a challenge to write a book that students can read without difficulty in a limited amount of time, but Marlene Hurst has done just that. Marlene’s book not only maintains the tone of a teacher talking to a student, but it takes complex principles and concepts and turns them into a language that is easy to understand. After reading this book, students taking the NCLEX-RN® will feel as if Marlene is right there with them during the exam, helping them to choose the correct answer. In addition to the live review, this book is definitely the key to passing the NCLEX-RN® the FIRST time and getting on with life!

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation reports that one in five nurses leave their first nursing job within one year of hire.
That’s a sobering statistic given that it takes a minimum of two years to get the necessary education, plus passing a national licensing exam and getting licensed (which requires a fee) within the state of residence.
Why would a nurse be so quick to leave?
Although there are many other employment opportunities for nurses these days, most still work in hospitals, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
Still, nurses may want to leave the hospital environment, and managers often wonder why.
Nurses want to leave hospitals for a number of reasons.
A certain amount of turnover can actually be a good thing, as new employees can bring new ideas, skills and perspectives to an organization.
Excessive turnover, however, is costly, can be demoralizing to staff and is time-consuming from the point of dealing with the termination process, hiring new nurses and training them.
The reasons nurses want to leave a hospital range from working conditions to pay to relationships to personal issues.
