If you don't go through this book before taking the NCLEX, you are doing yourself a great disservice. I just took (and passed) the NCLEX, and there were many questions of the type in this book. I found the case study chapters to be a little less beneficial than the chapters in the front of the book, so if you are pressed for time, you can probably skip the case studies. And some of the questions in this book are harder than anything I saw on the NCLEX, but it is worth the mental pain to go through them. You will feel so much more comfortable when answering questions on the NCLEX that have to do with prioritizing which patient you assess first, which patient you should visit first, etc. Get this book. You will not regret it!

This book is a must for any nursing student. I have noticed some of my nursing exam questions have came straight from this book. I love that the questions are organized by content area. It has really helped me with delegation questions, and understanding the role of the LPN as well. It's also nice because it's small, if you don't feel like lugging around a 10lb. review book.

Someone who had taken and passed NCLEX the first time she took it highly recommended this book to me, and I am so glad she did. I too passed on my first try, and this book was a great study tool. Prioritizing patient care and delegating tasks to LPNs and CNAs were NCLEX questions that I was not very good at, so this book was very helpful. It's all Q & A, and I felt like doing NCLEX questions was the best way to study for the test.

Great buy!

This book is essential for NCLEX preparation. It was highly recommended to me by several students one cohort ahead of me who already passed the exam, and I am so-o-o-o glad they told me about it. They informed me I would be surprised to learn what an LPN could and could not do, regardless of what I was taught. They were absolutely correct - there are many technicalities about delegation I have not found anywhere else yet. Prioritization is an especially tough topic for many, and this book does an outstanding job of helping you learn this skill. I can almost guarantee you will feel much better about it upon completion of this book. I think it is a must-have to increase your level of knowledge and build confidence to walk through the door of the exam testing center.

I really appreciate the way this book is organized, and think you will do best if you do the book in the order of which its chapters are written. There are 18 chapters by subject, and then 21 case studies. All answers are categorized as having a focus of either delegation, assignment, or prioritization. So, you can keep track of which areas you are doing better in, and you will know which area is your weakest. Of course, within the questions there is excellent review of all your basics such as ABGs, physical assessments, pathophysiology, etc. Hope this helps you in your book selections, and GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

Hard book but it was one of the best ones wich helped me to pass. Saunders was also very good.

I had my test this month and I used this review. I passed with 93 q's and I only used half of the book due to time constrictions. It breaks down the chapters by systems and it helps you concentrate on what is important to study. I strongly recommended.

OMG I took NCLEX-RN a few days ago and passed with 75 questions...I credit this book for most of my success on the exam. It is an absolute must. It has 18 chapters divided into content areas and as the title states deal specifically with prioritizing, delegating, and assigning. The rationales are great and really help you to understand why you chose to see Pt A instead of Pt B, C, or D. Excellent supplement to your NCLEX prep

This book is great. The questions are tough and make you think. Great rationales. The book contains questions on specific systems as well as case scenarios. Highly recommended.

This book is great to assist nursing students with these difficult topics. Lots of application. Was delivered very quickly.

I'll be honest, in some ways I found the NCLEX to be like nothing that was covered on any of the test prep books. Having a solid foundation of knowledge and good clinical judgment is your best bet for acing the exam. That said, if you need to improve in the areas of clinical judgement, I'd recommend this book. While I didn't find that it matched up to the NCLEX 1:1, I think there's a lot to learn from the material here. I used this book, Kaplan, and Saunders, and passed on my first try, using Saunders for knowledge base, this book for insight into prioritization, and Kaplan for strategy. This book is a good addition, but not a replacement, to your other study materials.
