This review is from: The Chicago Review Press NCLEX-PN Practice Test and Review (NCLEX Practice Test and Review series) (Paperback)

I had to get another review book required, I think it may have been a Saunders? Anyways it sucked. Later on with a review course I took I got this Chicago Review one. I loved it. The chapters are segmented into body systems, and has a review in three easy sections So lets say we are in the cardiovascular review it would review - anatomy (ex:valves, blood flow)/pharmacology(ex:nitro or dig)/med-surg disease(ex:MI, CAD). Then it asks you the questions. I thought it interesting, and easy to delve into. My other book had print after print after print, it wasn't easily approachable.

Now that I am taking my last semester of RN school, Im actually looking for the companies RN book if they have it! That's how I came upon this review ;)

THIS BOOK IS NICE BECAUSE IT PROVIDES A BREIF REVIEW OF EACH SUBJECT/SYSTEM PRIOR TO THE REVIEW TEST...THE REVIEW IS SHORT, SWEET & TO THE POINT...JUST ENOUGH TO GO OVER THE BASICS...I ALSO FOUND THE CD ROM TEST HELPFUL...IT SCORES THE TEST AS YOU GO...BOTH THE CD & BOOK HAVE RATIONALS AS TO WHY THE ANSWER IS CORRECT/INCORRECT...OVER ALL THIS WAS A GREAT TOOL TO STUDY FOR MY NCLEX (WHICH I PASSSED!!!)

THis is a great book I used it to design exams for my LPN students! Great format, easily read, excellent rationales to each question/answer! Only problem was not enough questions per each section. Wonderful otherwise!
