First of all, look at the author's credentials. MD? Hello? I want to be a RN! Moving on- I agree with other's reviews that every piece of information in this book is critical, but the key to NCLEX success is understanding processes, not just memorizing facts. This book does not provide backgrounds or rationales, only straight facts. Also, the accompanying CD contains 1,000 questions but they only test straight knowledge. They are not NCLEX style questions and so do not prepare you to take the NCLEX. I can see how this book might help you study for your Med-Surg exams, but there are much better options for NCLEX prep. (I'm so glad I borrowed it from the library & didn't pay for it!) A great book for the money is the Saunder's review. It provides pleny of tables for "quick facts", but also provides essential background information, and highlights the absolute essentials that are likely to be tested. Also, has 4,000+ NCLEX style questions on CD so you can practice testing,which is studies show is ESSENTIAL for NCLEX success. Last but certainly not least, the Saunder's book is written by a RN!!!

This book should only be used as an adjunct for study. Unfortuately there is nothing simple about preparing for the nclex. Your time would be better spent on understanding the test and taking practice tests.

Really helped me through nursing school! Helped me to remember the important stuff and not all of the insignificant details.

My daughter used this to help study for her Nclex. She said it was a good study guide.

This was a really big help in preparing for the NCLEX! It was very straight forward and very easy to get a lot of information in a short amount of time. I would recommend this to anyone!

This book really is an easy introduction to the NCLEX test. It is fast to read and the interactive CD that comes with the book is very good at testing whether you have understood the book or not. The book quickly makes you aware in which areas you need to study more intensely before taking the NCLEX test. The book is a great introduction to the NCLEX test but you need to be aware not to rely entirely on this book to help you pass the test. You need to supplement this book with other NCLEX test preparation books.

If you have the extra money it is not a bad book to have, especially for studying for exams while in school. I bought it because I wanted to have a review book that I could read on the train, or when I don't feel like reading a bunch of paragraphs.

a basic must know for nclex-rn review..a must have book..
