Review

"This is a nursing text book to end all text books as this is so comprehensive and the chapters are well set out and it does not take the reader long to navigate around the book...This is written especially for the nursing students to pass the NCLEX-PN exam. It is still a valuable resource for the nursing student in the UK. As this is so comprehensive, this is a book to refresh the newly qualified nurse and would be a valuable resource in any nursing university or hospital library."

Nursing Times, April 2013

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

As a child, I always dreamed of becoming either a nurse or teacher. Initially, I chose to become a nurse because I wanted to help others, especially those who were ill. Then I realized that both of my dreams could come true: I could be both a nurse and a teacher. So I pursued my dreams.

I received my diploma in nursing at Cooley Dickinson Hospital School of Nursing in Northampton, Massachusetts. Afterwards, I worked at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, Massachusetts and cared for clients in acute medical-surgical units, the intensive care unit, the emergency department, pediatric units, and other acute care units. Later, I received an associate degree from Holyoke Community College in Holyoke, Massachusetts, my BSN from American International College in Springfield, Massachusetts, and my MSN from Anna Maria College, Paxton, Massachusetts, with a dual major in Nursing Management and Patient Education. I received my PhD candidacy status in Nursing at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and I am doing research related to success on the NCLEX®. I am also a member of the Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International, Phi Kappa Phi, Golden Key International Honour Society, the Western Institute of Nursing, and the Eastern Nursing Research Society.

As a native of Springfield, Massachusetts, I began my teaching career as an instructor of medical-surgical nursing and leadership-management nursing at Baystate Medical Center School of Nursing in 1981. In 1989 I relocated to Rhode Island and began teaching medical-surgical nursing and psychiatric nursing to RN and LPN students at the Community College of Rhode Island. Later in 1994, I began teaching nursing at Salve Regina University in Newport, Rhode Island and remain there as an adjunct faculty member.

My experiences as a student, nursing educator, and item writer for the NCLEX exams, aided me as I developed a comprehensive review course to prepare nursing students and graduates for the NCLEX examination. In 1991, I established Professional Nursing Seminars, Inc., and in 2000, I established Nursing Reviews, Inc. Both companies are dedicated to conducting review courses for the NCLEX-RN and the NCLEX-PN examinations and assisting nursing graduates to achieve their goals of becoming Registered Nurses and/or Licensed Practical/Vocational Nurses.

Today, I conduct review courses for the NCLEX examinations throughout New England and am the author of numerous successful review products published by Elsevier. I hope that you will use these review products and join me with your journey to success in testing for nursing examinations and for the NCLEX® examination!

A must-have book if you are in a Practical Nursing program!
I know this says review for the NCLEX-PN, but it would be wise to buy as soon as you get accepted into nursing program. A great tool to reinforce lectures and preparation for questions on exams /quizzes. Most instructors will start preparing you early by quizzing students in that format.The information is formatted nicely and the book is easy to understand. It also comes with the rationales for why the answers that are correct were chosen and the reason why other answers are wrong.The online aspect of the book has additional practice questions and you can change the formatting, if desired.

5.0 out of 5 stars By far the BEST NCLEX prep book around!!
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2015
Verified Purchase
I graduated my LPN program at the end of May, and was required to take the NCLEX by June 20th in order to continue into the RN program. My school used Kaplan all throughout the year and a lot more towards the end of the year for practice material, and I HATED it. I wasn't doing well on any of the practice exams and I started to panic about passing. I looked at many different exam prep books but Saunders Comprehensive Reveiw for the NCLEX-PN exam had the best reviews so I bought it. I read through most of it and did the practice questions and I ended up passing the NCLEX after the minimum 85 questions on my first try. I reccomend this book to all of my classmates and to any future nurses that have asked how I prepped & passed. I absolutely love that it is in a textbook format so you get refreshed on all of the material, and I love that the questions have amazing rationales so that when you do get an answer wrong, you know exactly why, and it helps you to remember the right answer in the future. Honestly, this is by far the best prep material I've ever used & many of my classmates agree. YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED!! It's definitely worth the buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars I passed using only this book
Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2015

This is the only book that i bought to study for my NCLEX-PN exam. This book is full of information that you'll need to take the test. I like that it has a test bank that you can access to practice and to see if you know enough before taking the exam. I didn't use the test bank until I've finished reading the whole book because I wanted to gauge on how much I retained from reading the book. I can't compare any other test bank cause as i've said, this is the only book that i used to study for my exam and i felt that it did provide me with the knowledge to answer my test correctly. If there's a bad thing about this book is that it's very overwhelming, so make sure that you'll take your time studying this book and make sure that you set a time each day to study.

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2015

I took my NCLEX at the beginning of March 2015 and I passed with on 95 questions (pretty good). I bought 3 other books before this but this book was by far the most helpful and I wish I wouldn't of wasted my money on any the other books. The online question bank was extremely useful because the questions were just like the NCLEX test questions. The questions are grouped in categories by subjects or you can mix them and do random questions. I recommend that you buy this book while your in school and study the questions but definitely buy this book at least 6 weeks before your test because you take a pretest and it develops a study plan for you for 6 weeks. I was totally prepared taking the NCLEX after using this book and using the online question bank.

!!!!This is a GREAT BOOK-IT COVERS EVERYTHING!!!!-it begins with nursing fundamentals-It reviews every subject (Med/ Surg I & II, Maternity, Labor & Delivery, Newborn, Peds, Adult I & II, Psych, etc.)-at the end of each chapter, it asks you thought provoking questions-it gives you the answers, explaining why the answer is right & why the other answers are wrong-it gives you common sense suggestions on how to take the test & a pep talk to say YOU CAN pass the test-what I really like about it, it's concise-any & everything that was covered (pertinent) in 8-10 nursing classes & almost as many books, is in one book (paperback-fits inside most handbags)-it's in color (illustrations, charts, bullet points) & not heavy.
I wish it had a CD for additional questions/tests, but if you have access to the internet, they're on the website (FREE).

Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2013

I use it concurrently with my school textbooks to help get the concepts of what we're studying. It offers extra practice and review questions for me to look at. Others in class are like 'when are we going to start using this book?' and really, I've already started using it! (We were encouraged to have it for fall, even though we're in our summer session.) It's a great resource to help learn additional information that's related to NCLEX style questions to start forming in my head the kinds of questions that may be asked of me when I take the NCLEX when I'm done with school at the end of the year! 6 months to go!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars I PASSED MY NCLEX
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2014
Verified Purchase
I purchased this book to study for my NCLEX PN. I only used the access code that came with the book to study for my test. I never read the book. The access code has over 4000 questions and lets you even choose what subject you want to have questions. I did 50-100 questions everyday and took notes on every single question with the answer- that night or the next morning i would review everything i wrote down. I did this for 6 weeks. I highly recommend you use this item to study for your nclex PN. I wish I would have known about this while in nursing school - it could have helped me alot. I passed my NCLEX first try with 85 questions and this is the only item I used plus a lot of prayers to God and it helped alot. Best of luck; I hope this review helps you.

I've been using it to study for about a month and the chapters are to the point and clear to understand. There are a lot of questions to practice based with you have learned from the chapters and there are correct answers along with their rationales. Also, once you purchase this book, you could access to the main web site for Evolve where there is a code located inside the front cover of your book. The site contains more than 4200 questions and has many more like the one that I like the most is that I took the pre-test, it assess my strengths and weakness then the results will generate a customized study calendar. I feel that the questions are excellent practice and it is very helpful.

Im a year 1 RPN student and I bought this book about two months ago, however, only recently begin to read it and I must say this book covers EVERYTHING I have ever learnt in my first year of nursing school including psychology/physiology/theory courses/ pharm... etc (except for ANAT). I would DEFO recommend this book because it literally explains everything and gives you a lot of interesting info which Im sure you could use to your advantage to impress your teachers ;) I dont think semester 1 students would need this book that much, however, once you complete semester 1 make sure you get your copy. I have a year more to go and I am happy I bought this book at this point within my course work because it has a million questions which I can enjoy going over during my summer!

I am a practical nursing student graduate and I bought this book to study for my comprehensive exam at my college. It is awesome! It is a big book and has a lot of great information that put all your knowledge together. I will use it now during the summer to study some more for my registration exam in the fall. If you don't want to go through all your books and notes to get ready for the exam, this is a book to purchase. I have Kindle e-version, but there is also a paper version, if you prefer it.
