Customer Reviews

Amazing!

This book is great! We use it for Academic Coaching for Nursing School and it is super helpful! I’m a visual learner so this helps immensely! I love it! Very inexpensive and worth it!

Great NCLEX-RN Study Book

Some NCLEX-RN books are so detailed and long that when I read them I feel like I'm taking nursing school all over again. This book is more concise with illustrations and tables in color, which makes for easier reading. Each chapter has appendices with need-to-know information. For example, in the musculoskeletal chapter 21, there is appendix 21-1; it covers serum diagnostics, invasive diagnostics, and non-invasive diagnostice, appendix 21-2: it covers medications by category (antigout, skeletal muscle relaxants, calcium meds., etc.), Appendix 21.3: it covers amputations, appendix 21.4: it covers assistive devices (crutches, canes, walkers). When you just have 10 minutes, you can turn to an appendix of a chapter and get a good review on meds., procedures, and diagostic tests. This book has been helpful studying for nursing school tests and for NCLEX prep.

A must have to pass the NCLEX-RN Exam

I went through about 10 books before I purchased this one. This one was one of the best I used to prepare. Very thorough and covered all the different types of questions presented on the exam.

Great Study Tool

I thought this was an excellent book! The information was clear and concise and the illustrations really helped to drive home key points. I'm so glad I bought it and I would definately recommend it to anyone studying for the NCLEX.

The best Nclex book I own

This book is amazing. although I was thinking there were more pictures, it was well worth it. The text is detailed, yet very easy to understand. It has helped me get better grades in school and understand systems more then I thought I did. Excellent review book! I also like her other books which are all cartoons and flip note cards to take along to clinical. I have all my clinical buddies buying Joann Zerwekh's books after borrowing mine in clinical!
