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.

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.

The website does not Specify that this book is strictly on medications. The manner in which the book is put together makes is too easy to mistake one medication for another, you MUST read the directions on "how to use this book." It does not say how or why they choose those medications. Not recommended.

poorly organized ....the drugs are classified by action and not alphabetically so if you are not sure what a drug does yet and are just doing a general search it is virtually impossible also the page setup really sucks

I have to say this book is okay, but it's not as good as I expected it to be! But I do think overall it will be a helpful tool in studying for the NCLEX!

My daughter needed the book to study for NCLEX. It helped her immensely. Good buy!

I was expecting generalized NCLEX-RN review cards, however, instead i recieved soley ones related to pharmacology. The title is very decieving and neglects to mention the specificity of the cards. "NCLEX-RN Flashcards Flip-O-Matic" by Kaplan needs to be changed.

I think this book is good. It is a little boring to me thou. It does have a lot of meds that you need to know for that prepose it is a good book to get
