5.0 out of 5 stars If meds are your nemesis, this may help, January 11, 2009

By	Raven E. Asher "Nurseraven09" (Somewhere in Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This little pocket book will fit in your purse, so that when you find yourself "stuck" somewhere for a few minutes, you can whip it out and peruse some med test info. I know, not exciting for me either, but that's why I bought it--med questions strike terror in my heart. I hate wasting time, so I'm hoping to fill those inevitable moments cramming for the NCLEX. It's small, easy to see, and full of potential test info. Ask me again in 5 months and I'll let you know how it worked. Good luck to us all!

5.0 out of 5 stars NCLEX-RN Med Review Book, April 19, 2009

By	NightAngel "NightAngel" (poorest county in Ohio) - See all my reviews

It was shipped fast, arrived on time, and in perfect condition. For anyone that needs to study for the NCLEX-RN Exams, I recommend getting the Kaplan series of books. They provide a very thorough knowledge about the different medications that could be on the test as well as the Kaplan NCLEX-RN 2010 book give great techniques to be able to pick out the correct answers.

5.0 out of 5 stars kaplan drug review, December 26, 2008

By	tgj "nursing student" (tampa, fl. usa) - See all my reviews

when i first ordered the book, i thought it would come in handy for the kaplan program and if it were to be beneficial in my last nursing semester, BONUS! i am not sure if it's included or not when one takes the nclex review with kaplan, however i saw it in the kaplan bookstore @ their site. what a great little book. it's in a flashcard type of format. drug on the front, with the "meat" on the back. it's small enough to put into a purse, maybe even a pocket. it's a great size. i bought 4 of them for my study buddies, and then ordered 3 more & used them for christmas gifts. they were $5 cheaper on amazon and who can resist the supersaver shipping?
