BEST REVIEW BOOK

I've never written a review of a book before, but I felt myself compelled to write one on this book. I am currently looking for another review book and I can't find one that compares to this Q & A book. The book is actually broken down into sections like the boards. It's not broken down into sections on different systems (resp, cardiovascular, etc.) like most books. Whats the point in studying or practicing questions that are broken down into systems when that is not what the real boards are like? Also the book gives good rational and test taking strategies like eliminate 2 & 4 because they are similar. Basically this is the best book I've found ... Buy it!!!

Great questions and explanations to prepare for NCLEX-RN

I bought several books to prepare for NCLEX, but I liked this book the best. I used other books and my notes from school to review contents, and used this book to practice questions. It does not cover each system one by one like nursing textbooks, but rather the chapters are organized in the NCLEX way (e.g. client needs, safe and effective care environment, health promotion, psychosocial integrity, etc.). I did not use CD as much as I planned at the time of purchase because the characters were small and made my eyes tired. (The characters on real NCLEX were bigger and clearer on the screen than this software.) I did not have any problem with this CD like the other reviewers. The book alone has 1810Qs, and they were more than enough for me. Although this book is thick (about 1 1/2 inches) and heavy, I liked the fact that I could take it to anywhere to study. I recognized several NCLEX questions similar to what I practiced in this book, and I passed in 75Qs!

An excellent study guide!

This book separates categories to study weak areas and has a comprehensive test at the end. I did not use the CD; I just put a piece of paper over the answer and answered all the questions on the page and then went over the rationale if I got one wrong. This is the only book I used to prepare for NCLEX and I passed in 75 questions.

The best Q & A Review out there!

This is the best book out there as far as how questions are written. I threw out a Mosby book before this one; it was terrible. I did 5,000 questions total to pratice for boards, using Saunders Comprehensive Review and this book and passed my boards in 75 questions on the first try. The Saunders questions were most like "the real thing" compared to other books I used. I was disappointed that this book only had 1700 questions in the text itself; the CD-ROM had 3,000, but they duplicated the ones in the book, so if you did the book first and then the CD, you got repeats. It would be better if the CD only had new questions on it and not the ones in the book. If you are prepping for your board exams, don't be mistaken--you have to do the content review FIRST. This book is for after you have reviewed your content and just want to practice questions.

SAUNDERS NCLEX-RN REVIEW/ Q & A NCLEX-RN

It is extremely different reviewer from my previous resources. Infact, I am already used with it since before, It helped me to pass my Philippine Nursing Board Examination since 1994 when I took my licensure examination in the Philippines. I find it very detailed. I have worked in different countries as a nurse but I stick only to the best book which made me a successful professional nurse.Edwin
