    5.0 out of 5 stars Good customer service from seller. Leik book is great for FNP boards review.
    Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2021

    original Digital access code that came with the book for some reason did not work. The code was covered by protective coating when I received it and appeared brand new. I contacted the seller and they sent me a new activation code quickly that now works with ExamPrepConnect, so good customer service on the sellers end.

    ExamPrepConnect is a nice digital tool that works on PC, tablet or smart phones. It sets a study plan based on the date you want to take the boards exam. The lessons within the ExamPrepConnect are sections of the book, so you may read the book through the digital access and it will track your progress. There are practice questions for each chapter, flash cards and study games.
    The Leik book itself is paperback, but unlike the 3rd Leik edition the 4th edition has colored pictures which is definitely an improvement, especially when going through dermatology. The Leik book has a detailed review but does not give an overwhelming amount off information. Leik is organized very well with each system broken down into chapters and within those chapters it has danger signals, disease review, exam tips and clinical pearls. My school chose to use the Fitzgerald’s book to prep students for boards, but I did not like this book since the quiz questions come before the reading in the chapters and the reading for each topic is very long and gives you an overload of information you will likely forget.

    Overall, if you are looking for a review book for FNP boards exam I would highly recommend the Leik book with digital access. Best to buy the book at the beginning of the last semester of FNP school and use it throughout that last semester.

    Book goes right to the common topics and exactly what you need to know about each. I made flash cards based on the info and studied both. I also tried APEA (great videos), Fitzgerald (way too complex and too much info), and Latrina Walden (relaxed teaching style but consistently mispronounced terms, plus downloaded handouts had MANY errors). This book was just right for the intent, which was to pass boards, and I did.

    Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2024

    Purchased this book to help me study for my FNP-C exam after I finished school. There are dozens of options to choose from and I was a little bit lost, however, Leik came highly recommended by practitioners I knew and others I conversed with online. I liked that the book came with the digital access so I could study on the go just using my Ipad. It was a lot of information and I did wish the format had been a bit more concise focusing on key points and high yield areas with some helpful pneumonic/memorization tools. I used the book for around 3-months along with a hybrid online review coarse and was able to pass my exam with the first try. For that reason I am happy with my purchase and would recommend the book to others.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Really great review, but there are several typos…
    Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2023

    Loved the review. Felt that between the app and book (material is near identical) that there was a lot of flexibility in how I could study- at home with my book or in a long car ride on the app- the information was presented where I wasn’t overwhelmed and felt far more confident in my ability to be an NP.

    BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SPRINGER PUBLISHER, HIRE BETTER EDITORS. As shown in the picture, 90 F is a hypothermic temp. I literally caught myself second guessing everything I ever knew about basic vital signs. There was another part which I didn’t photograph that talked about 3C-4C above normal body temp but then just converted Celsius to Fahrenheit. So it read 3C-4C (37.4F- 39.2F) which makes no sense 98.6F+37.4F is not equal to 37C +3C …

    Okay, I understand why this book has so many great reviews because it is a very helpful tool to study for the exam. It consolidates the information in an organized fashion. However there are soooo many errors and conflicting information in this book it has me worried and insecure about taking this exam. Makes me wonder what type of editing was done on this book and doesn't author care that there are so many errors. I hope she is working on correcting these errors typos and conflicting information because this ruins an otherwise amazing study tool for the NP exam
