5.0 out of 5 stars Davis' Nclex-RN Success, July 11, 2001

By 

Sally Higgins (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Davis's NCLEX-RN Success (Paperback)

This book is an excellent tool for nursing students for preparing for the NCLEX examination. It provides a logical, systematic method of review by beginning with a comprehensive pre-test for identifying areas of needed study. A procedure is then outlined for how best to approach the defined area of study. The book is also a particularly effective resource for nursing faculty to guide students who need remediation in specific content areas. The only down-side of the book is that it is a bit ominous in size; however, the clear plan of study with multiple tips and suggestions for success on the NCLEX exam compensates for the size.

3.0 out of 5 stars practice questions are poor, May 29, 2005

By 

Special K (Maple Grove, MN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Davis's NCLEX-RN Success (Paperback)

The practice questions in the beginning of the book replicate certain areas (thyroidectomy, hernias, GI) and lack in the areas of peds and maternal health. So, the review practice questions should not be used to judge your clinical knowledge in all areas nursing. On the upside, what other study guides lack, this book makes up for them by having nice illustrations with descriptions, good rationales and meds info. Saunders and Kaplan are two books that complement this study guide.

1.0 out of 5 stars Informative. Poor quality of the print., June 29, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Davis's NCLEX-RN Success (Paperback)

Nothing against the content, but the quality is bad.
Tables are badly printed, missing or overprinted entries,
some graphs are also missing.
Publisher was not interested to provide any correction.
Maybe next edition or revision will be better.
Do not count on it as a single source of the information.
