About the author
Nursing is the heart of health care, regardless of the setting in which it is provided. My passion is helping students to prepare for their nursing careers. Why? Because each day nurses touch the lives of human beings in times of need. The Pearson Education Reviews and Rationales Series is a result of this passion. My overarching aim with this series is to provide current, evidence-based and quality study aids, to help students feed their own passion - becoming caring and competent nurses!
I was born and raised in western Massachusetts, and still reside there. I have taught in diploma, AD, and BS nursing programs, and am currently at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I began teaching NCLEX-RN review courses in the early 1990s, and for the past decade or so have also taught NCLEX-PN courses. My research interests relate to nurse clinical competence, nurse decision-making, and patient safety. I am a member of the American Nurses Association, ANA Massachusetts, the Eastern Nursing Research Society, National League for Nursing, and Sigma Theta Tau International (nursing honor society). When I am not pursuing my teaching and scholarship interests, I enjoy traveling and spending quality time with family and friends.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2012If you're looking for a comprehensive resource for NCLEX prep, look no further...this book is fantastic. Extensive topic coverage complete with rationales for every response. Prefer going online to take quizzes? No problem this book's got that, too. (Although the content online is a tad bit confusing to navigate, once you figure out how to get to the quizzes section, you won't forget.) I have several books for review and this one is my personal favorite. Some of my professors loan this text out to students, but I prefer 24/7 availability in my own home! :-) Happy studying, future nurses!
UPDATE: I saw sooo many reviewers having trouble getting to the online content to take system-specific quizzes that I decided to post instructions here on how to get to the right place.
1) Go to the Pearson Pegasus log-in page once you've set up online access, and log in.
2) Click on the book title on the left side of the website.
3) On the next page, on the left side near the top, you will see a menu bar that has the following options: "Today's View, Course Content, Grades, Communicate". Look just BELOW this menu bar and you will see the following options: "View All Content, Course Calendar, Learning Objectives."
4) Click on Learning Objectives.
5) On the left side, you will see the following options: "Client Need, Topics Areas, Integrated Process."
6) To take quizzes related to your system or topic of choice, click the plus sign for "Topics Areas".
7) Click on your system of choice.
8) On the right side, there are several options for that topic of study. Scroll down to the bottom-ish. You will see a heading called "Self Study" for that topic of study. Click on it.
9) A separate pop-up window will appear so that you may begin your quiz.
I hope this is helpful. If you have any problems or questions, feel free to comment below. Note that the online quiz portion only works with Internet Explorer and certain versions of Firefox, but not with Chrome.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2011I am really happy with this book! I am a first year nursing student in Fundamentals and I've been using this book to review for exams. This is an amazing resource! It definitely goes into quite a bit of detail, which I love, but the really important information that might be on the NCLEX is highlighted. I haven't tried the CD out yet but I'm sure that will be an excellent resource in studying for the NCLEX and to use in future nursing courses. Everyone seems to recommend the Saunders NCLEX book, but after checking it out at the library I didn't find it as helpful and organized as this book. I definitely recommend this book to all nursing students!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2013So helpful I actually started packing it to school despite the large size. The teacher follows this book more than the pharm book I was forced to buy. It was a required book and at first it sat in a pile now it is one of the most used books. I would recommed this for all practical nursing students. The book is well organized and very easy to navigate. Questions are very similar to what I see on tests. Don't wait to buy it a month before going to sit for the exam buy it when you first start school and follow along. It won't be a waste of money!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2013Generally, there is plenty of useful information in here. I liked to use this book to study for unit tests in nursing school. It was also helpful for decoding some of the more confusing or scattered lectures I encountered. I do think most nursing students will benefit from this book. I also can say that this really did help me prepare for NCLEX. I passed it the first time with 75 questions. I will give this book partial credit for this success.
However, I must share two little gripes that made me dock a star in this review. First, what's with the typos? Don't you people proofread? Second, this book is so, so vague at times. For example, when reviewing risk factors for certain disorders, it is not enough to just list "race, age, gender" as risk factors. Wait, you mean certain races/ages/genders are more at risk for specific diseases than others?! No way! Too bad it depends on the disorder...I'm thinking maybe the authors let it go to print this way because they couldn't remember either. And some of the rationales for test answers will make you want to cry, because they are just that nonsensical. That isn't really new when it comes to NCLEX style questions though, so I won't really hold that against them.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2012I have to admit that if I had known what a great book this was I would have purchased it without hesitation my first semester in Nursing. The material is very well organized and the type of questions are great to get your mind thinking in NCLEX mode. In addition, it was a great review of material for exams especially seeing areas were I was week and needed the extra review. Highly recommend it, as long as you take your time and review it ahead of time and not the night before.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2018Best nclex book I have. This alone helped me pass nursing school! Everything is easy broken down and the questions are simple and amazing! HIGHLY recommend this book! I've told all of my nursing friends to buy it and they also swear by it. Use this for nursing school and to brush up for the NCLEX and use uworld for NCLEX prep!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2015WARNING: FALSE ADVERTISING! The book itself is good, but the only way to access the online practice questions and eText is if your instructor sets up a review course. There is no such thing as a "self-study course" even though the website says there is - I talked to a Pearson representative and this is what she told me. My school doesn't use this review book - I bought it on my own and could not access the online questions, which were half the reason I bought the book to start with. If you just want the book, fine... but if you're expecting to have that online review, make sure your school is on board or you'll be out of luck!

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read
I had gone through many textbooks and by far this textbook is well organised, has a thorough content of information, the test questions are harder than other books. Easy to read, to the point in terms of nursing considerations, provides hints or tips in remembering certain information. Provides well thought out tables to summerize information for example the different types of saline solutions for IVs. I was impressed and passed the licencing exam first time round because of this book.
