NCLEX is an examination for the licensing of nurses developed by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) in the United States. The NCLEX-PN is an exam of practical/vocational nurses candidates. The NCLEX-PN Review is part of McGraw Hill’s Hurst Review preparatory series. Registered Nurse Marlene Hurst began Hurst Reviews in 1998 and instructs over thirty thousand students each year to successfully succeed in nursing school and on the NCLEX exam. Interactive Works collaborated with McGraw-Hill to produce a CD-ROM version of the practice tests that accompany the book. From the application, students can also choose to listen to or download Hurst's NCLEX success lectures.
