1.0 out of 5 stars Watch out for incorrect answers and slopy editing, March 8, 2009

This review is from: Mosby's Comprehensive Review of Nursing for NCLEX-RNŽ Examination, 19e (Paperback)

While the 4,000+ questions are great, there is no feature to choose that questions you've already seen be set aside so you can see new ones. I've spent a week studying with this tool and I really can't stress how frustrating it is to see the same 5 or 10 questions repeated and know there are hundreds more that I may never see.

At last count I've found 10 different questions where the exam says the answer was incorrect but the rationale states that the answer is correct. It's just incredibly sloppy editing that the makers really should have worked out.

This review is from: Mosby's Comprehensive Review of Nursing for NCLEX-RNŽ Examination, 19e (Paperback)

I HIGHLY recommend the Mosby's Comprehensive Review... 60th edition. The book is so well written that reading it isn't a chore! The program I was in just loved the hesi exam.. this book got me through it and helped me to score higher than my schools ridiculous expectations!

Some details: The CD that is included is pretty nice, but the questions are VERY easy. I didn't use it to prepare for tests, just it for review! Additionally, another reviewer mentioned some problems with the CD... those seem to have been solved. When you run the program for the first time, it connects to a server someplace and downloads a patch to make everything work well.

I like this book. It is easy on the eyes, great questions, and the CD has great questions. I have only used it for my last semester which included med-surg1 and MAT/OB and it was a great resource. (Plus, I did very well thanks to this book, on HESI and class!...) I have ADD and this helps as it is SUPER structured and flows nicely. This is in my top 3 of must haves for any nursing student. (Plus, it is a new edition and utilizes 3 great book writers that REALLY help.) I would say def worth it. Good Luck!!!
