This book will help you understand the types of questions that will test your knowledge of several basic areas, such as basic patient care and comfort (hygiene, nutrition, mobility/immobility, and more). In addition, you'll prepare to show what you know about

  • Chemical dependency
  • Safety and infection control

2.0 out of 5 stars Spend your money on another book, January 14, 2007
This review is from: CliffsTestPrep NCLEX-RN (Paperback)
I bought 3 study aids to prepare for the NCLEX-RN and this by far was the worst. At first glance this book is great because it has so much material, but after getting further into the book I noticed multiple typos. The spelling typos were one thing, but sometimes the number of the answer did not correspond to the right answer. These typos just took some of the credibility away from the book and made me uneasy. I would recommend the book from Kaplan or the Flashcards from Mosby.

1.0 out of 5 stars Full of Mistakes!, February 17, 2007
By 
sistrmoon (Albany, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: CliffsTestPrep NCLEX-RN (Paperback)
I have used 4 different resources in preparing for the NCLEX, and this one is glaringly bad. I have found probably 10 or more errors in the practice questions. The question will ask for one thing and then the "correct" answer will be the opposite of what the question was asking. i.e. "What is a sign and symptom of X?" and then you'll wrack your brain and get to the answer and it'll say "1 is the only answer NOT a symptom of X." Some of the answer numbers are wrong as well...it'll put one answer number and then the answer explanation will obviously be referring to a completely different answer choice.

I've already written the company telling them that I've found so many mistakes that I'm questioning the efficacy of the whole book. This was added stress when I didn't need it.

1.0 out of 5 stars ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS, June 4, 2009
This review is from: CliffsTestPrep NCLEX-RN (Paperback)
This book's questions are nothing like the NCLEX-RN exam I took this week and FAILED, utilizing this book & it's "5 full-length CD practice exams", (which by the way turned out to be just the same questions from the book just mixed up, not additional questions)as my primary source of review. If you're thinking these questions are like the actual test you are sorely mistaken!!! They are WAY easier and will give you false sense of a great review. The amount of typos I found that totally screwed up some of the questions made me a little uneasy. I thought I'd do great on the exam since I did well on the practice tests. Now I get to pay for my exam and fees again, so don't spend the $40 on this book and lose out like I did. Get something else!!!
