Enlightening

I appreciate the whole new prospective of nursing. I hope will make me a better nurse and perhaps a teacher

Good review book for HESI and NCLEX

What I really liked about this book is the rational for the what and why this is the best answer, and the layout is good with the answers a page following the questions, not having to hunt for answer in back of book. The 4000 question CD is a great application as well.

Perfect ONe

It,s not how much you spend Reading and reviewing materials, its how the material have been presented to you ,,, this book was my assistance to pass the exam by doing only 75 Question in 45 min only. you may need to know more than what i needed to know, but keep this book you last and final review

A Great Review for the NCLEX-RN & for Classes as well.

This book is organized into sections (e.g. Medical-Surgical Nursing, Pediatric Nursing, Psychiatric Nursing, etc.). The topic reviews follow an easy to read outline form. I like the print (oddly enough) better in this text than in the Mosby NCLEX-RN review book. It is much easier on the eyes, and I found myself less likely to fall asleep while reading it. Each section of the text is followed by a 'Review Questions' section. Then an answer section--with the rationales--follows, so you can grade your test immediately without having to flip to some appendix in the back of the text. The author clearly put thought into the organization of this text.I highly recommend this book, not only as a review for the NCLEX-RN, but as a tool to be utilized alongside your course material. The outlined reviews help the reader to get the 'big picture' when studying for an exam, instead of getting caught up in all those details.The weak part of this package is it's CD-ROM. The review questions/practice tests are exactly the same questions that are in the text, except in a randomized order. There's really no point to a CD-ROM accompanying this text, since the CD-ROM doesn't really offer new information. I would like to see a follow-up edition that has different questions on the CD-ROM, rather than repeating the same questions in a different order. Aside from the CD-ROM though, this is a great review text. Good luck in school, and especially on the NCLEX-RN.
