Average Customer Rating: 5.0 out of 5
1) Must have for foreign educated nurses!!! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
If you studied and graduated from a non US nursing program you must prepare for the NCLEX thoroughly, I graduated 9 years ago in the UK and thought I had a good general knowledge base, however once I started using this book I realized how much my UK education had not prepared me for the US system and the NCLEX.Allow yourself a few months studying hard from this book (it is 'no-frills', almost written in note form, but it is the closest thing to experiencing a proper review course you can get outside the states)At first I found the rationales in the included chapter exams very difficult to agree with in terms of prioritization, coming from the real world critical care environment, but the more questions and rationales you do the more prepared you will be. I would also recommend a question and answer book - I used the incredibly easy NCLEX RN question and answer book and the Mosby one.As much as I recommend this book I also found it very useful to answer questions from several different publishers as I found they would all be somewhat different but it is a very accessible way of learning and getting questions wrong really helps for the right answer to 'stick'.Overall a 5 star recommendation, there are no other publications I am aware of that offer this sort of package. Buy it and work hard!I found out this morning that I passed! in 75 questions! Good luck, good luck, good luck!2) Outstanding Review Book [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This book is wonderful. I study it for my tests, including my online exit exams for my specialty classes. This book covers everything and eliminates all the "fluff". I bought this and the Question and Answer book and they are GREAT learning tools. I would recommend this book to any nursing student to use throughout school and for boards!3) NCLEX Review [Rating: 5 out of 5]
The review is excellent! There are a lot of graphics and test questions that help you really understand the material. The rationales for the review questions are also a plus. The outlines are very helpful, concise, and comprehensive. I recommend this book for every nursing student!4) Sabrina [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This book is easy to read and the CD is so helpful. This book is reccomended by all of the instructors in our NCLEX review courses. I feel better prepared for the NCLEX.5) Best NCLEX book ever! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This book is a must-have for all nursing students. I wish I had known about it when I first began nursing school. It is a great tool to use for studying along the way, and for preparing for NCLEX (currently using it for that now). I found out about it during my last year of nursing school (I had the 3rd edition first), and I've used it along with my notes and textbooks since then. It breaks things down into simple and concise sentences. It definitely makes it easier to remember. It has many charts, tables, and pictures (great if you're a visual learner). It also has many practice questions within the book, including alternate format. It also comes with a cd loaded with questions! I could not live without this book. I think almost every person in my graduating class has this book!
