Lippincott s Review for NCLEX-RN
The following report compares books using the SERCount Rating (base on the result count from the search engine).
Rating: 4.47/5 from 15 reviews CGFNS - a breeze thru this tough examWritten to help you pass NCLEX the first time.I enjoyed this book because it was written to help students understand the NCLEX-RN test. The questions are designed to test each phase of the nursing process and help the student understand the correct nursing actions to take, depending on which phase you are in. The book is broken into different clinical areas so you can concentrate on your weak area and not spend too much time on areas you are most comfortable with. I have used other books by other authors, but Lippincott's is by far the best because it is the one designed most like the NCLEX. The rationale accompanies both wrong and correct answers so you get a better understanding of the material. The test on disk is also formatted like the CAT test you will see on your testing day. This will help relieve your computer anxiety by allowing you practice before you get to the testing site. This is definitely the book to buy to study for NCLEX-RN. You won't regret purchasing this study aide. Helpful practice book, but watch for a few things...I used this book to study for my finals in nursing school. I noticed that on my final i came across a question very similiar(actually, identicle) to this book. My professor used 5 questions from this review book on the exam. My problem with this book was a few things. The wording of questions were ackward. For example, "Impending hypoglycemia" measurement. If anyone knows the meaning to "impending" and what the value range is for hypoglycemia is would understand why there is a flaw in how the question and answer do not match up. If anyone thinks differently, let me know. I think the answer given is incorrect or in the least misleading--needlessly. | ||||||||||||||||||
The CD which is part of this book has a nice program which has a random question generator from the various topics. Extremely helpful to evaluate your performance on the test.
If you can consistently get over 80% on these practice tests, you've cleared your cgfns test.
Note: In addition to this book you need to have supplemental study material too. The more the material the better your preparation for this exam.
