My nursing school uses the Iggy textbook that goes with this study guide. I found this guide to be so helpful preparing for exams. It gives plenty of questions for each chapter and provides multiple formats (multiple choice, fill in the blank, matching, true/false, etc). I scored an average of 8 points better on exams I used this to study for. I highly recommend this guide if your school uses the textbook.

If you are using the text that goes along with this study guide, you will have a leg up. The nursing school that my daughter goes to uses, the accompaning text...and use the studyguide questions as the format matt for making their questions. Since the nursing criculum is so board, everyone needs a little edge to help focus. This is not a cheat, so don't look for the easy way...but, this text will help you focus on the key elements so that you don't spend you time chasing rabbits.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not NCLEX Style, January 31, 2011

This book may be somewhat helpful in just reviewing the information you've read in the main text, however the questions are not NCLEX style questions. In nursing school, it is extremely important to do all of your questions in nclex style so you get used to it. Not many people at my school have found this book helpful, but I bought it anyway thinking I might find it somewhat helpful. Not so. I gave it three stars though because it can't hurt. It's not awful. Nothing that is going to help you study in any way is useless... but like I said, it's not nclex style so it won't reinforce that style of question understanding (which is mostly application and prioritization) These questions are pretty much just fact based- like a test you would take in high school or non-nursing classes.
