5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended!, February 20, 2006

This is the exact same software that the college of nursing at Arkansas State University has in our AV Lab. As Juniors, every two or three weeks we have to complete 50 questions on a certain topic and turn it in. As Seniors, we will have to complete and turn in something like 100 or 150 questions per week. As I am going to nursing school, parenting, AND working, I have *no* time to sit in the AV Lab for hours during the day. This was the perfect solution, as I can use it in my own home, on my own computer. I highly recommend it!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful, March 16, 2006

For our senior class, we have to turn in 10 of these tests with 75 questions and passing it with an 80% or more. Although, it's very time consuming, everytime I take it, I am learning more. So, I think this will benefit me for the real NCLEX exam. I recommend it to anyone in nursing school or have graduated and planning to take the boards. It has a lot of the new innovated questions. (Pictures, diagrams, and select the best that applies.)

1.0 out of 5 stars Some questions garbled or incomplete - fatal errors, February 25, 2006

The program is easy to use, but there is one MAJOR problem. My computer is a Pentium 4 running Windows XP. I don't know if that has a bearing on it, but in every set of 10 questions or so there would be one question where the last part of the question was behind the first answer with no way to see it. Sometimes you could guess what the question was by the answers, but not always. About every third time I'd finish one set of questions, the program would have a fatal error and shut down. I tried to contact the manufacturer but never received a response. Also...now and then their answer would just be WRONG. I'd look it up in the med/surg book, or meds book, and it would be plainly, unambiguously wrong. I've unistalled it and am using Saunders instead, which is less easy to run, but not plagued by programming errors.
