4.0 out of 5 stars Up close & personal with NCLEX meds, August 5, 2005

This review is from: NCLEX-RN Exam Medication Flashcards Flip-O-Matic (Paperback)

Unlike the other reviewer, I really like this book (which by the way strictly covers medications as stated in the title.) I am currently studying for the NCLEX and meds are one of my weaknesses. While this book can be slightly intimidating with a whopping 280 medications listed, I find it to be comprehensive of medications that I have encountered thus far on practice exams. The book is a little confusing so make sure you read the introduction before you beging using it (the main reason I only rated it 4 stars.) I really like that the layout is grouped by classes: Anti-infectives, Anti-inflammatories, Cardio meds, GI meds, Mental Health meds, etc. It has helped me focus in on specific side effects of classes, which I am told is the best way to remember them. In short, I think it is an excellent supplement to NCLEX study strategy.

This review is from: NCLEX-RN Exam Medication Flashcards Flip-O-Matic (Paperback)

I saw these cards in a local bookstore many times, but, because of the misleading title (especially for NCLEX-RN, and I am a PN student), I didn't purchase them, because, I, too, felt that they were actually review cards. I don't like to confuse myself by purchasing anything to do with RN material, since the focus is different. However, I received an email from Kaplan that advertized these flashcards, and once I purchased them, I saw the benefit. By the time you graduate, you find that you don't need all of those details, just the main necessities. There is room to place your own personal notes, and convienent to carry around. The only reason why I didn't give them a 5 is because of the misleading title. The word 'medication' should be emphasized, and they should not let people believe that only RNs can benefit from purchasing them.

This is a great way to learn medications. The title does clearly states that this is a book of medications. For a person who has a weakness in this area this is a good book (flip-cards) to have.
