this book is cleaner than I hope.
So I am satisfied with it.
Thank you!!! ^^

Each section of Questions , is followed by the answer and an explanation .

Let me first say that this book is best used in conjunction with the Saunders NCLEX book (ISBN 0721603475). The reason is that this book, while it contains questions and rationale for answers, does not have a comprehensive review at the beginning of each chapter. The Saunders book has a great review at the beginning of each chapter but does not contain nearly as many questions as the Lippincott book. That said, authors of the NCLEX say that people who do best on the exam have practiced at least 2000 questions before taking the exam. This book contains 5000 questions and answers. Chapters are broken up by subject matter so questions focus on only one topic at a time. At the end of the book there are five different practice tests consisting of approximately 200 questions each. You should score AT LEAST a 75% on each test before taking the NCLEX exam. There is also a CD-rom included but Mac users should beware--it only runs on Windows. Last but not least, let me say that this book does not guarantee your passing the actual exam. I see that others are frustrated after using the book and then failing the real exam. It is really not the book's fault. This book is merely designed to test your current knowledge and to point out the areas which you need to review. If you aren't passing the real thing, there are clearly areas that you need work in. I am in no way belittling those that don't pass (face it, it's a hard exam), I am only saying that no one book can guarantee you a passing score. Do yourself a favor, get this book and the Saunders book. They are both excellent tools!

I used this book to study for my finals in nursing school. I noticed that on my final i came across a question very similiar(actually, identicle) to this book. My professor used 5 questions from this review book on the exam.

My problem with this book was a few things. The wording of questions were ackward. For example, "Impending hypoglycemia" measurement. If anyone knows the meaning to "impending" and what the value range is for hypoglycemia is would understand why there is a flaw in how the question and answer do not match up. If anyone thinks differently, let me know. I think the answer given is incorrect or in the least misleading--needlessly.
I recommend Mosby's NCLEX- RN made incredibly easy and Kaplan's NCLEX review instead.

I purchased this book to prepare myself for the NCLEX-RN and was very disappointed with the results. I took MANY of the practice tests on the CDROM and after completing them I would review the questions the computer said I had "missed" only to find that the computer was marking them as the correct answers when I reviewed them. The book says you must score 75% on their practice tests in order to pass boards, and all my results were in the 74-76% range, but with many of the "incorrect" answers ending up being "correct" it did not help me do anything except be very stressed out! I took the Mosby's online practice and scored in the 94th percentile--a more true reflexion of my abilities--I passed boards without any problem, but no thanks to this book.
