Saunders Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN Examination PDF

I don't usually write product reviews, but I felt so compelled to write about this book because it helped me out tremendously during nursing school and when I was studying for NCLEX... I purchased this book while I was in nursing school after an instructor of mine recommended it. I am sure glad that I took the advice. The book is a great review tool because it is in outline-style format. I love that the chapters are separated into categories (Cardiac, Respiratory, Mental Health, etc.), so it is easy to find just what you are looking for. I have to say though that the chapters aren't all-inclusive - it is NOT a Med-Surg text book, or like any nursing text book you have. This book contains only the most essential information - which is all that you need to know, really. The images and tables are all so very helpful as well. I used this book to prepare for all my exams, and did fairly well in all of them. I got "A"s and "B"s throughout nursing school (and one lone "C" - but that's because I probably did not use this book to study for that one class...) And if you must know, I graduated from nursing school mid-August '09 and took the NCLEX mid-September '09. I self-studied and passed the first time with 75 questions - without taking any expensive review classes. The only review books I used were this one, Saunders' Q&A Review and the Kaplan-NCLEX RN Exam 2010 that I borrowed from the public library (but I could care less for Kaplan's decision-making "strategies"). Don't bother spending $500 for silly review classes - all my friends said it was a waste of time and money. You're better off studying on your own. Overall, I highly recommend this book for all nursing students - it worked for me and it will definitely work for you as well! Good luck!

I read this book throughout my senior year of nursing school. I was sure that it would help me pass the NCLEX. I did pass the NCLEX the first time, but I really don't feel that it had anything to do with this book. The questions on the test were nothing like the ones in the book. They were more like Kaplans.
Beware of the tests at the end of each chapter, the answers can be wrong. Read the answers carefully! I got so tired of finding wrong answers that I gave up on the book.
However, the information for review is nicely compact and to the point. The company just needs to pay for a professional proofreader.
