Kaplan NCLEX-RN Exam [With CDROM]

This was one of the more difficult of the NCLEX books, it has more of the pick all of the correct answer questions. Make sure you use the CD to study with it gets you into the computer testing mode for the real NCLEX. Use this and the Lippincott's Review for Nclex-Rn,Mosby's Comprehensive Review of Nursing for NCLEX-RN® (Mosby's Comprehensive Review of Nursing for Nclex-Rn)to study for your nursing school tests. They are very helpul in getting you into the critical thinking mode instead of the memorization mode.

This book was a main tool in my studying for the NCLEX. I passed the first time and the strategies outlined in this book will work, given that you already have a good body of knowledge. Saunders is a good reference for a comprehensive review. I had no trouble with the book or CD and highly recommend this if you want to pass the NCLEX the first time!

In July of 2004, I took my boards and did not pass. I was devestated. After picking myself up and dusting off, I found the Kaplan NCLEX-RN 2004-2005 book. As I read through these reviews I was shocked to see that some people thought the book was horrible. It is important to Know that before opening this book to review you must already have reviewed all areas of nursing content (Med surg, pediatrics, maternity, ...) This book was my bible and questions in the book are the closest to the NCLEX RN exam I have ever seen! I took my boards again in September 2004 and passed with 75 questions! I attribute this success to this amazing book. If you follow thier stratagies, you will pass!! I suggest to study with this book, after completing Saunders Comprehensive Review book. For anyone who is displeased with Kaplan RN it is only because they needed a more in depth review of basic Nursing content before following Kaplan's stratagies to pass. This book should only be used in your final stretch of studying before the exam. Good luck!

I just took the NCLEX two days ago and passed and I think this book was the most helpful. The questions were the most like the ones I encountered on the NCLEX and the authors did an excellent job giving strategies for how to approach the questions. This book truly focuses on the application of knowledge and not just the recall of random facts, which most of the other NCLEX books did. The CD rom was extremely helpful in targeting my problem areas, it gave a breakdown of the different testing areas after the test.

I just took NCLEX today and found that using this book was extremely helpful. I used 7 review books and took a review course. The most helpful thing of all was this review book. Read between the lines here: the questions in the book, themselves, are VERY similar to those on NCLEX and the format of the questions is almost identical.Buy this book--you will not be disappointed.
