Product Description
A useful review tool in preparing for the NCLEX-RN examination, this guide is based on the latest NCLEX-RN test plan. In an outline format, it comprehensively reviews all areas of nursing, including maternity, pediatric, medical-surgical, psychiatric, and gerontologic. More than 4,000 practice questions are included in the book/CD-ROM package, along with comprehensive rationales and test-taking strategies. * Text and accompanying CD-ROM provide a total of 4,000 practice questions - more than any other comprehensive review book. The CD-ROM includes all 1,800 questions from the book, plus over 2,200 more. * Every question includes a correct answer, rationales for all responses, test-taking strategy, level of cognitive ability, integrated process, category of client needs, and reference to a major nursing text. * Alternate item format questions, including fill-in-the-blank, multiple-response, and illustration questions, provide exposure to these new formats on the ! NCLEX-RN exam. * A comprehensive exam consists of 265 questions with content areas in the same percentages as the current NCLEX-RN test plan. * Pharmacology is emphasized, with 13 pharmacology chapters, a medication and intravenous calculation chapter, and a pediatric medication calculation chapter. * Pyramid to Success sections provide an overview of each chapter plus a focused guide

 good review book for NCLEX-RN July 28, 2010
M. E. Geertsema (West Virginia, USA)
I used this to study for the NCLEX-RN. It covered a lot of material and was a good refresher course before I took the NCLEX. The information is presented in a broken down manner that is easy to read, and there are many diagrams and information boxes to refer to. I think I'll even keep this one around as a reference book instead of reselling it. The questions (with rationales) in the book and on the CD were helpful and I felt like I was getting good preparation. The CD-ROM had a lot of alternate format questions that I recommend going over, too. I would recommend this one to a nursing student, however I wouldnt use this review book alone if studying for NCLEX-RN. I recommend getting an NCLEX-RN test stategy book (I used the Kaplan one) along with this because it devotes a whole book that tells you "how" to take NCLEX and use critical thinking to answer questions instead of just a small chapter in this book. This review book did explain a bit about the NCLEX and test taking strategies in the beginning of the book, but I didn't find as helpful as the other book I used.
Saunders Comprensive Review July 26, 2010
I can't begin to tell you how happy I am that kindle has finally included this book. Saunders is one of the best review books out I am excited and elated. To me a nursing student this means carrying around 1 less resource book, I have been periodically checking the kindle store and to my surprise here it was.

It is the best book ever.
I am a international trained nurse so i needed a book wich to help me study again everything in english. I bought this book and it proved to be the best. The NCLEX type of questions are exactly the same as in this book. I passed my test with 75 questions from my first try. And also i have to say that i graduate my school 3 years ago and never practice since so this book helped me to remember everything i studied once and to pass from the first try the Nclex. Buy this book, study hard and you will have the best results. Good luck!
Breaks it down to the basics June 24, 2010
C. McClain (TX)
Although I just got finished with the fundamentals of nursing, I can tell that I will be using this book for awhile to come. There is so much information here! It breaks down the information that you get in those huge textbooks to a manageable outline. That makes it easy for review for tests (primarily the NCLEX) and a concise explanation of something you may not understand from your class text. There are loads of questions and explanations, both in the book and on the CD-ROM, just as the description says. However, it is not as detailed on some subjects, which is why it is a review and not a replacement for textbooks. There are other books out there if you need more specific help in a class that will go into more depth than this one. But this book does what is says its would, and that is what counts. The basics that you need to know for safe practice as a nurse is here!
