Book Reviews of Lippincott's Review for NCLEX-RNŽ
Book Review: One of the best
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me first say that this book is best used in conjunction with the Saunders NCLEX book (ISBN 0721603475). The reason is that this book, while it contains questions and rationale for answers, does not have a comprehensive review at the beginning of each chapter. The Saunders book has a great review at the beginning of each chapter but does not contain nearly as many questions as the Lippincott book. That said, authors of the NCLEX say that people who do best on the exam have practiced at least 2000 questions before taking the exam. This book contains 5000 questions and answers. Chapters are broken up by subject matter so questions focus on only one topic at a time. At the end of the book there are five different practice tests consisting of approximately 200 questions each. You should score AT LEAST a 75% on each test before taking the NCLEX exam. There is also a CD-rom included but Mac users should beware--it only runs on Windows. Last but not least, let me say that this book does not guarantee your passing the actual exam. I see that others are frustrated after using the book and then failing the real exam. It is really not the book's fault. This book is merely designed to test your current knowledge and to point out the areas which you need to review. If you aren't passing the real thing, there are clearly areas that you need work in. I am in no way belittling those that don't pass (face it, it's a hard exam), I am only saying that no one book can guarantee you a passing score. Do yourself a favor, get this book and the Saunders book. They are both excellent tools!
Summary of Lippincott's Review for NCLEX-RNŽ
The thoroughly updated Eighth Edition of the top-selling NCLEX-RNŽ review reflects the current NCLEXŽ test plan and contains more than 5,000 total test questions?including new alternate-format questions?to help students practice taking the exam. Organized by practice area?childbearing family and neonate, child health, adult medical-surgical, and psychiatric-mental health?the book contains more questions than any other NCLEX-RNŽ review, and includes more pharmacology-related questions. The author clearly explains the rationale for correct and incorrect answers. Five comprehensive tests resembling the format of the NCLEX-RNŽ are also included.
A back-of-book CD-ROM includes more than 1,000 questions, plus a free sample of the PDA download for handheld devices.
This edition is also available for PDAs. See PDA listing for details.
If you're a senior nursing student, you know that it's impossible to practice too much for the NCLEX. So you'll love the new Lippincott's Review, which gives you over 5,000 exam-style questions with answers and rationales in the book, plus another 1,000 on the companion CD-ROM. By the time you can answer them all correctly, the boards will be a snap. --Carolyn Lewis
