5.0 out of 5 stars Passed thanks to Kaplan, September 22, 2004

This review is from: Kaplan NCLEX-RN 2004-2005 with CD-ROM (Kaplan NCLEX-RN (W/CD)) (Paperback)

In July of 2004, I took my boards and did not pass. I was devestated. After picking myself up and dusting off, I found the Kaplan NCLEX-RN 2004-2005 book. As I read through these reviews I was shocked to see that some people thought the book was horrible. It is important to Know that before opening this book to review you must already have reviewed all areas of nursing content (Med surg, pediatrics, maternity, ...) This book was my bible and questions in the book are the closest to the NCLEX RN exam I have ever seen! I took my boards again in September 2004 and passed with 75 questions! I attribute this success to this amazing book. If you follow thier stratagies, you will pass!!
I suggest to study with this book, after completing Saunders Comprehensive Review book. For anyone who is displeased with Kaplan RN it is only because they needed a more in depth review of basic Nursing content before following Kaplan's stratagies to pass. This book should only be used in your final stretch of studying before the exam. Good luck!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book for Strategy, November 13, 2004

By 

Denise "Class of 2005" (Louisa, VA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kaplan NCLEX-RN 2004-2005 with CD-ROM (Kaplan NCLEX-RN (W/CD)) (Paperback)

I like this book. It doesn't contain a lot of questions, but it contains strategy and reasoning. The Kaplan book tells you how to break down a question and how to prioritize the answeres. The CD has many extra questions for practice, and the book itself has 1 practice test plus more questions throughout the instruction. SO.... if you are looking for a book with a lot of questions, this is probably not for you. If you are looking to improve you test taking skills and to UNDERSTAND what the NCLEX writers are looking for, this is great!

5.0 out of 5 stars TRUST ME, IT IS WORTH THE MONEY, June 9, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Kaplan NCLEX-RN 2004-2005 with CD-ROM (Kaplan NCLEX-RN (W/CD)) (Paperback)

I just took NCLEX today and found that using this book was extremely helpful. I used 7 review books and took a review course. The most helpful thing of all was this review book. Read between the lines here: the questions in the book, themselves, are VERY similar to those on NCLEX and the format of the questions is almost identical.

Buy this book--you will not be disappointed.
