Good solid book Oct 29, 2009 I used this book for several weeks then ultimately took a Kaplan class. I found the questions to be as close to complexity and appropriateness as those from Kaplan. My suggestion is to definitely use the CD of questions because the chapter questions are too focussed on the specific areas discussed. The CD can mix it all up for you. I can't vouch if it helped me pass NCLEX, though, because I also took Kaplan. The best part of the book are all the topic reviews, in my opinion.

Best Investment I Ever Made... Oct 12, 2009 I don't usually write product reviews, but I felt so compelled to write about this book because it helped me out tremendously during nursing school and when I was studying for NCLEX... I purchased this book while I was in nursing school after an instructor of mine recommended it. I am sure glad that I took the advice. The book is a great review tool because it is in outline-style format. I love that the chapters are separated into categories (Cardiac, Respiratory, Mental Health, etc.), so it is easy to find just what you are looking for. I have to say though that the chapters aren't all-inclusive - it is NOT a Med-Surg text book, or like any nursing text book you have. This book contains only the most essential information - which is all that you need to know, really. The images and tables are all so very helpful as well. I used this book to prepare for all my exams, and did fairly well in all of them. I got "A"s and "B"s throughout nursing school (and one lone "C" - but that's because I probably did not use this book to study for that one class...) And if you must know, I graduated from nursing school mid-August '09 and took the NCLEX mid-September '09. I self-studied and passed the first time with 75 questions - without taking any expensive review classes. The only review books I used were this one, Saunders' Q&A Review and the Kaplan-NCLEX RN Exam 2010 that I borrowed from the public library (but I could care less for Kaplan's decision-making "strategies"). Don't bother spending $500 for silly review classes - all my friends said it was a waste of time and money. You're better off studying on your own. Overall, I highly recommend this book for all nursing students - it worked for me and it will definitely work for you as well! Good luck!
Useful tool for studying for the NCLEX Sep 30, 2009 I like the way the author explains things and clearly outlines what to do and what not to do when one encounters certain questions. It gives numerous useful tips, and I found it to be worth the money spent (used). However, I was disappointed in the seller from Amazon because my books condition was listed as "like new", and it had a handful of pages ripped out of it! I was not well pleased to say the least!

Great NCLEX review Sep 09, 2009 This book was an excellent tool for my NCLEX exam. During my last nursing school semester I did all the questions in the CD, but mostly for my NCLEX preparation I read the content of the book, specially my weaknesses. The CD gives you a calendar study and for the first weeks it focuses on the subjects you're weaker. Overall I really liked this book and I passed my NCLEX exam. Good luck and study hard!
