5.0 out of 5 stars GOOD BUY, April 26, 2003

This review is from: Lippincott's Review for Nclex-Rn/Book and Disk (Paperback)

Take it from someone who has passed the board. You only need two books Lippincott & Kaplan. I'm selling both mine. Whatever you score in the practice tests will be almost equal to what you will get on the board. Good for sizing yourself up before taking the board. I cut off at 75Q. Take my advice if you are running out of time. Study concurrently x 5hrs QD x 8 weeks. Mosby & Davis are good while your in school, but not for the exam.

I didn't notice that this book was published in 1994 when I bought it. When it arrived, I obviously figured this out. The book itself looks like it will be helpful, because even though it is old, most of the information is still pertinent. The disk, however, is a different story. It is a 3 1/2 inch floppy disk and most of the information on it is not compatible with today's computers. When I saw the program that I was able to pull up, I felt like I had been warped back in time. Bottom line: If you can get a good used price on the book itself, its probably worth it. But don't plan on the disc being of much use.
