I have the 6th and now 7th and like the 7th better

Has all of the same questions as edition 6 but the material is condensed and they have different and improved charts and graphs. I have the 6th and now 7th and like the 7th better.

Worth every penny and moment spent

Bought this 1 1/2 months before the NCLEX . Read 2-3 chapters a day - did all review questions and consistently scored 70-80 % . After I finished the book - I spent a week with the NCLEX mastery app. You will wonder how you'll remember it all - no matter what , you'll walk into your NCLEX feeling like you didn't do enough . The test ended up being very easy for me and I thank this book for it . I passed in 1 hour with 75 questions . You can do it too !

A Happy Nursing Student

I am in Nursing school and all the other practice books provided has too much information to read through. This book is straight to the point and cuts out the fluff. I have been highlighting away.

Over 5,000 practice Questions w/access code purchase

[[VIDEOID:5741ae1db9f23056ceb3282a01da58a1]] I utilize this book for the additional practice questions you get if you buy new and get the access code. It has over 5,000 practice questions on the site if you have the access code. I use this after every content area I study to see how well I know the material. You can customize the content(ex if I only want to study maternity you can, if you only want to do 10, 25, or 100 questions at a time you can....) Most importantly it gives instant feedback and the rationale after you get a question right or wrong. Example maternity has 430 questions online

Update: I did pass my Nclex in 75 questions my 1st time after failing the Exit Hesi 3 times. You can imagine how discouraged i was considering I did fairly well in nursing school. So, I utilized Hurst review to help me improve my core content skills, and I also used this Saunders book to give me more practice questions to study outside of Hurst review questions. Anytime I would learn a core content with Hurst Review (ex: endocrine system) I would come to Saunders and look up only endocrine system questions to see how well I knew the content. Although, I credit a lot of my Nclex success to Hurst review I would say I wouldn't have made it out of nursing school without utilizing my Saunders book. Good luck my fellow nursing students cant wait to see you in the field.

This review book is amazing and a life saver in nursing school

This review book is amazing and a life saver in nursing school. I bought it during my first semester, but didn't use it much. I started really using it for my second semester now for Med-Surg and I'm scoring so much better on exams. I mostly use the online component. I scored A's on my last two exams when I used the online Saunders questions and rationales to supplement my textbook readings and PowerPoints. This is the #1 way to study in order to master those NCLEX style questions on your exams. This is the most helpful and useful resource I have for nursing school. I would recommend 100% for anyone during their program.

It's amazing for a review

I used this book to study for my boards... I read all of the content and did all of the questions. It's amazing for a review. Its down to the point and doesn't really give you a lengthy, unnecessary review of each section. I love love love Saunders! Passed NCLEX on my first try using this book and UWorld!

Dont buy it for the code. Code did NOT work!!!!

I am SO disappointed! I mostly got this book because I wanted access to the online resources, but my code doesnt work. It's a new book, I did scratch to uncover the code, and I verified about 10 times that I was typing the code in correctly.
