Key to success on the NCLEX, Mar 12 2010
By G. King - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Kaplan NCLEX-RN 2010-2011 Edition: Strategies Practice and Review (Kaplan Nclex-Rn Exam) (Paperback)
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.

There are better NCLEX review books on the market, Jun 4 2010

This review is from: Kaplan NCLEX-RN 2010-2011 Edition: Strategies Practice and Review (Kaplan Nclex-Rn Exam) (Paperback)
Pre-release customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program
As a nurse who has taken and passed the NCLEX several years ago, I recommend that several testing strategies be used to guarantee your passing of the test. Kaplan makes an excellent strategy guide that helps you to understand how NCLEX test questions are worded and what exactly they are looking for with the answers. If you don't understand the meanings behind the questions, you are not ready to begin studying for the test, nevermind actually taking the NCLEX.This Kaplan NCLEX-RN offers some good stuff: 500 exam-style questions with detailed answer explanations, a content review sections, and key critical thinking strategies; as well as a CD rom with test questions on it.
I took the NCLEX almost 4 years ago, and did use Kaplan as a study guide, along with others. Unfortunately, I recognize the test questions on the CD rom included with this book, as being the same questions I studied with four years ago. They are identical. (I studied for 8 weeks solid and will remember many of my test questions for the rest of my life!) It's amazing to me that these questions are the same after all these years.
So why not just buy an older, cheaper edition of the book?
Overall, though Kaplan is good, I recommend Saunders study guides for the NCLEX. Actually I recommend using the Kaplan test strategy book along with Saunders. It's a win win combination.

This review is from: Kaplan NCLEX-RN 2010-2011 Edition: Strategies Practice and Review (Kaplan Nclex-Rn Exam) (Paperback)
This book is terrible. I began to use it when studying maternity and pediatrics. It is very obvious that Kaplan is trying to make a quick buck on this book. For most subjects bits and pieces of information are thrown into a jumbled mess. The quality of the information is laughable. Perhaps the fact that this book is less than an inch wide should have been a clue to this... The questions are a joke. I can easily answer them without having ever reading a nursing book in my life so how would this help you on an actual nursing exam or the Nclex-rn is beyond me!I HATE this book. It stays in a corner of my shoe closet. I wanted to make my money back from this purchase but can't bring myself into tricking another person into buying this useless piece of crap.
Try Saunders's or Mosby's.... these books give you actual nursing interventions and pathophysiology that you will use as a student and as an RN.
Listmania!
