Passed Boards on the first try!

I used this book to study for my LPN boards, after reading the reviews I decided to buy it. I was nervous at first because I didn't want to spend $50, but I am SO GLAD I did. I used the code for my evolve and I was able to answer NCLEX styled questions- THOUSANDS of them!! HIGHLY recommend this book!

1st time Pass

Used this book exclusively for reviewing before taking the Nclex. Passed the first time in June 2018. I did take all of the questions that were offered on the internet, and used only one other app for questions. This book explains everything very clearly and the separation between the sections with questions is great!

Excellent Prep for NCLEX PN

Excellent, highly recommend: use scratch off code inside front cover for online access to test questions on top of what’s already in the book. Great outlines of each disease including interventions. Highly recommend for any NCLEXPN exam

Useful for NCLEX PN Prep

I used this book to prepare for my NCLEX PN. I think it did help me. It is very handy to use as a review before your exam. You get a free question bank included. I think that this plus creating a study plan before your exam will help, but only use this book if you study independently. Good luck to anyone studying for their NCLEX!

Detailed, insightful and lots of NCLEX- PN questions!

I ordered this Saunders Comprehensive Review for my wife when she was preparing for her NCLEX- PN Board examination. She says she likes that the book has very detailed and current content with thousands of quality review questions and great analysis of the rationale for each question.
She says her favorite part of the book is the “ Integrated Processes” which identified and addressed the five processes; caring, communication and documentation, culture and spirituality, nursing process, teaching and learning in the test plan, and structured very well throughout the book.
My wife says that this review book is a must read for any practical nursing student preparing and getting ready for the PN board examination.
She says she likes how the authors approached chapter 3, from a graduate’s perspective and that the chapter really helped her to imagine herself going through the same experience and it did made her to be more focused in her preparing and acing the board exam. She says that she reviewed chapter 5 as if she were a patient as most of the issues related to cultural awareness and competence “opened her eyes” to how best interact and care for people of various ethnic and racial groups. My wife says this book did a good job of laying out the all - important critical thinking and test-taking skills, and the critical thinking part “what should you do?” She says the book provided a great template to follow with succinct clarity and in a step by step breakdown of what she really needed to know without over burdening her with fluff.
She says she was able to study this book and test her knowledge and identify knowledge gaps that require additional study. I would definitely recommend it.

Bought New, Received Used

The so-called 'New' textbook I purchased came with the online access code already scratched off and redeemed, so I am unable to access the online portion. This is unacceptable false advertising, I require the online content that should have been included with this purchase.
