The section of relating to African Americans really pissed me off。 It was so stereotypical and judgmental and to think that young white nurses read this and believe in it explains why we are treated like shit in hospitals。 Absolute trash。

Good resource with lots of information。 However， I can't say if I would've passed the NCLEX without also adding Kaplan and UWorld， so that knocked off a star。 Good resource with lots of information。 However， I can't say if I would've passed the NCLEX without also adding Kaplan and UWorld， so that knocked off a star。 。。。more

Read this book thoroughly if you want to leave the building thinking “hey that was actually kinda easy？” （Granted it was my second time taking it， but quite the polar opposite to my first attempt post-reaction of “holy shit that was the hardest thing I’ve ever taken can I pls die”） Took off a star cuz 1） the rationales for the practice questions are kinda ass。 Ex: “Use knowledge of corticosteroids” “Know that heparin affects aPTT， not PT/INR， to deduce that the answer is A” Like no shit dude。 2） Read this book thoroughly if you want to leave the building thinking “hey that was actually kinda easy？” （Granted it was my second time taking it， but quite the polar opposite to my first attempt post-reaction of “holy shit that was the hardest thing I’ve ever taken can I pls die”） Took off a star cuz 1） the rationales for the practice questions are kinda ass。 Ex: “Use knowledge of corticosteroids” “Know that heparin affects aPTT， not PT/INR， to deduce that the answer is A” Like no shit dude。 2） I felt like the book focused on patho a tad bit too much and sometimes didn’t elaborate enough on the nursing interventions。 Like patho is v important don’t get me wrong。 But the NCLEX doesn’t test on patho！！！ 3） Also gotta chuckle at some of the shortcuts this book took。 “Interventions for Hepatitis B: ____。 Interventions for Hepatitis C: see interventions for Hep。 B。 Interventions for Hepatitis D: similar to interventions for Hep。 C” It happened frequently enough for me to notice。All in all， worthwhile book。 I wish I got it while in nursing school and used it for my first attempt。 The content review is SUPER helpful。 I recommend using this book WITH UWorld for their much superior rationales/practice questions 。。。more

The must-have book from day one in nursing school。 I just passed the NCLEX in 75 questions the first time。 I studied this book and found it helpful not only in passing the board exam but in class as well。 I also used Pearson， Hurst， Kaplan to study for the board。

THIS is the reason why I haven't been reading as many new books as I would've liked to。。。 It took me about a month to go through all of the chapters， and I honestly don't think I can even remember it all - I'll definitely have to go over my notes again and again。 Overall， it was a very comprehensive review of what you have to know for the NCLEX。 I liked how the chapters followed the same format of going through the nursing process of assessment， intervention， and evaluation。 There were so many c THIS is the reason why I haven't been reading as many new books as I would've liked to。。。 It took me about a month to go through all of the chapters， and I honestly don't think I can even remember it all - I'll definitely have to go over my notes again and again。 Overall， it was a very comprehensive review of what you have to know for the NCLEX。 I liked how the chapters followed the same format of going through the nursing process of assessment， intervention， and evaluation。 There were so many concepts in this book that I had never even learned in nursing school， and I had to keep on googling what everything meant。 I found that the questions were a bit too easy though， especially when you do practice questions from other learning resources。 However， I am glad that I used this as part of my study guide。 It is very thorough， and inclusive of different types of nursing， such as maternity， paediatrics， adult health， and mental health。 Now， time to read more books for fun！ 。。。more

This book was a major factor in my ability to pass Pediatric Nursing， Complex Critical Care Nursing， and Medical-Surgical Nursing。 I only wish I had it before my OB rotations。 I used it to review for NCLEX as well。 I can't recommend it enough。 Easy to follow format。 Graphs and charts that give you only what you need to know， and I swear it's tailored to NCLEX style questions。 My most important resource during nursing school。 This book was a major factor in my ability to pass Pediatric Nursing， Complex Critical Care Nursing， and Medical-Surgical Nursing。 I only wish I had it before my OB rotations。 I used it to review for NCLEX as well。 I can't recommend it enough。 Easy to follow format。 Graphs and charts that give you only what you need to know， and I swear it's tailored to NCLEX style questions。 My most important resource during nursing school。 。。。more

10/10。 Wish I had found sooner。 Goes with Lowedermilk， Ignatavicius， and Hockenberry text books。 Gives outlines for all the information that will be covered on the NCLEX as well as practice questions。 Great resource。

I haven't actually used this book for the NCLEX yet as I still have another year before I complete my BSN， but I used it to prepare for a very important final exam in my Med-Surg course。 It was incredibly helpful in understanding the test taking strategies necessary for nursing school。 I haven't actually used this book for the NCLEX yet as I still have another year before I complete my BSN， but I used it to prepare for a very important final exam in my Med-Surg course。 It was incredibly helpful in understanding the test taking strategies necessary for nursing school。 。。。more

A great condensed review of 4 years of nursing education。 In some ways， this book was more thorough than my professors and for all that I learned along the way I am grateful。 Questions at the back of the chapters and the final test covered material well， but are recall and understanding questions only。 This is important to know because the NCLEX is testing you at the higher comprehension levels of application and analysis。 Any student preparing for NCLEX needs a source of those types of question A great condensed review of 4 years of nursing education。 In some ways， this book was more thorough than my professors and for all that I learned along the way I am grateful。 Questions at the back of the chapters and the final test covered material well， but are recall and understanding questions only。 This is important to know because the NCLEX is testing you at the higher comprehension levels of application and analysis。 Any student preparing for NCLEX needs a source of those types of questions that are beyond the scope of this book。 Both aspects - material review and serious critical thinking questions - are needed to prepare for NCLEX。 This book is a great resource for the first half of your preparation。 I believe Kaplan and UWorld to be good sources for the second half。 Good luck！ 。。。more

Wilfred Pareto said that in a 100-part of something， you really only need to focus on the significant 30-part of it。 And when taking the NCLEX-RN exam， you don't need to study everything nor from cover to cover of your MS book。This book right here， is the 30% nursing content one needs to review。 It was so comprehensive！ And I liked it very much that it was in bullet-form and not written like a novel。Compared with the Kaplan book， this is more detailed and more recommend-able to those GC and I-do Wilfred Pareto said that in a 100-part of something， you really only need to focus on the significant 30-part of it。 And when taking the NCLEX-RN exam， you don't need to study everything nor from cover to cover of your MS book。This book right here， is the 30% nursing content one needs to review。 It was so comprehensive！ And I liked it very much that it was in bullet-form and not written like a novel。Compared with the Kaplan book， this is more detailed and more recommend-able to those GC and I-don't-want-to-miss-a-thing friends。（But dang， it took me months， months！） 。。。more

Lengthy and tedious， but it covers everything you need to know if returning to nursing after many years away from the profession， as I did。 Geared primarily towards hospital nursing， of course。
