I have such respect for the authors and for this book. I’ve been using this book to assist nursing program students as well as graduates to learn how to read NCLEX style questions, and successfully pass the NCLEX. How many books are into their 8th edition - that says so much about the success of the publication. All the students I’ve tutored use this book and all have passed the NCLEX!! It always includes questions matched to the current NCLEX blueprint WHICH CHANGES every 3 years. Also it updates based on scientific research, nursing and medical practice. One of the exceptional advantages of this book is the complete rationales which includes a succinct summary of why the correct answer is correct and why the wrong answers are wrong. AS A NURSING PROFESSOR I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK FOR SUCCESS ON THE NCLEX
