Saunders Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-PNŽ Examination (Saunders Comprehensive Review for Nclex-Pn)16 reviews
Linda Anne Silvestri RN MSN PhD(c)
Saunders, 2009
One of the best review available...Passed on First Attempt
This is a great review for the NCLEX. You need to spend the same kind of time using this product as you did to pass Nursing School. It should take 21-30 days to complete cover to cover. Then test within a week or two. If you put yourself into it, you should pass too. I most strongly recommend Saunders Comprehensive Review. It will cover the necessary information you need to pass. You may be ...

Med-surg Success: A Course Review Applying Critical Thinking to Test Taking 25 reviews
Kathryn Cadenhead Colgrove, Judy Callicoatt
F A Davis Co, 2006
Saved me!
This book got me through RN school. My grades went from "D" to "B", using the techniques in this book. I would have gotten better grades if I'd studied more, but I was working full-time while attending classes. This book was a lifesaver for me, and others in my class. I found this in my third semester, and wish I'd found it at the beginning of the program.

Great Book, makes a lot of sense
I have really enjoyed this book. The foundation of the book encompasses two obvious principles that come together in a way that gives easy guidelines for assisting people with change. The first principle is that people who are not changing are stuck in ambiguity, where they are in a balancing act between reasons to change, and reasons to stay the same. The second principle is that people ...
