Comprehensive Review October 5, 2008
Although I am only halfway through the text, I have found it covers a multitude of topics and is very easy to use. I especially enjoy the accompanying CD which provides questions similar to the ones I experienced in nursing school. As an added benefit, there are a few assessment questions with an audio component that require knowledge from a student's clinical experience. With over twelve hundred pages, it is rather large and time-consuming, and some topics are not discussed in great depth. However, for an outstanding general review this book is well worth the money.
Great Review Book September 29, 2008
I have been looking for a NCLEX-RN book that would help get me prepared for BIG TEST. I been using it has we cover the sections in my lecture class. So far, I have used it as a study guide for endocrine and cardiac exams with success. I haven't found any differences for this review book and my lecture book.
I think that is a really great book because it is almost like a med-surg book without all of the information that you do not need. NOTE: This is a comprehensive book--meaning it is not just a book full of questions. It is an outline of each system. The CD has the NCLEX questions on it (however, the book about 30 questions at the end of each chapter).
 Test time helper September 23, 2008
I'm currently in nursing school and this book has been very helpful. IT has content review in every chapter followed by sample NCLEX questions at the end of each chapter. It also has a comprehensive test at the end of the book and a cd-rom with 3,000 additional questions. It has been amazing when studying for tests!
