 Key to success on the NCLEX March 13, 2010

Coming from a newly registered nurse, this book was my saving grace on taking and passing the NCLEX on the first try. It helps you dissect the question to find out what it is really asking and offers very practical and useful strategies in how to look at the question. It even comes with a CD w/ many practice questions and rationales and has a paper version of the test in the back. Had I not used this book, I'm pretty sure I would have failed the NCLEX because the test tests more of your critical thinking skills than it does your knowledge of pathophysiology, pharmacology, etc.
A must for student nurses June 11, 2010

I am a registered nurse and I used the Kaplan NCLEX-RN as part of my study regime for the NCLEX exam. This is the latest edition. Kaplan is a must for nursing students. It not only provides the user with test questions in the book, but it also offers a test very similiar to the actual NCLEX on disk that can be installed on the computer and used over and over again. What makes Kaplan different from other NCLEX study guides? It not only provides hundreds of sample questions but it also gives the rationale for all the answer choices, so not only do you know why the correct answer is correct, you also are told why the other three options are not correct. If you take the time to read all the rationales, even on the questions you answered correctly, you will gain a wealth of information and will hone your NCLEX test-taking skills. Kaplan also offers an indepth tutorial on test taking strategies that will prove invaluable. The NCLEX is not like any other test you have ever taken. All of the answer choices could be correct for the topic the question is testing on, but only one answer will be the best answer. Kaplan will help you learn to look for what the question is really asking and to answer ONLY what the question is asking. I highly recommend getting this book as soon as possible, even if you are only in your first semester of nursing school. It will also help you improve on your grades in nursing school since most of those tests mimic the NCLEX style of question. This is the best use of your money for study guide material and if you can only afford one NCLEX study guide, buy this one. Good luck.
NCLEX-RN 2010-2011 - Great! June 17, 2010

This book is a must have for any student nurse who is planning on taking the NCLEX in the next year. The book has been updated with all the newest information that is on the exam. The book is very easy to follow. It comes with a practice CD, practice tests and answers in the back of the book, and the standard sections that help refresh the memory on learning topics. This book also contains test taking tips and strategies to help students pass boards. The breakdown and explanation of the questions and answers has been improved from previous editions. I highly recommend this book to all student nurses. This is pretty much the golden standard. The do offer a money back guarantee if you fail boards, but it is just a refund for the price of the book, not for the test fees. So study up!
Excellent!!! August 4, 2010

very good book!
Kaplan prep classes are so expensive, like $500 now. If you are on a budget, get this book, the "medications you need to know for the Nclex" book and then a question bank such as the "Nclex Rn 4000" and you will be good to go.
great! April 16, 2010
