Product Description
There is a reason the new edition of Saunders Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN® Examination has been called "the best NCLEX review book ever." Essentially, you'll find everything you need to review for the NCLEX exam under one cover - complete content review and over 4,200 NCLEX-style questions in the book and on the free companion CD! Don't make the mistake of assuming that the quality of the questions is the same in all NCLEX review books, because only Silvestri's Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN® Examination includes the kind of questions that consistently test the critical thinking skills necessary to pass today's NCLEX exam. And, what's even better is that ALL answers include detailed rationales to help you learn from your answer choices, along with test taking strategies that provide tips for how to best approach each question. It's easy to see why Silvestri is THE book of choice for NCLEX review. But don't just take our word for it -- read any customer review or ask your fellow classmates to see why Silvestri users believe that there's nothing else like it!

 Saunders NCLEX review is awesome November 10, 2009
S. R. wilson
An old classmate of mines recommended this book to me for review. And I think it's GREAT!! I have learned more from this book than any other review book that I have purchased. I would recommend this book to others as well.
 Good solid book October 29, 2009

I used this book for several weeks then ultimately took a Kaplan class. I found the questions to be as close to complexity and appropriateness as those from Kaplan. My suggestion is to definitely use the CD of questions because the chapter questions are too focussed on the specific areas discussed. The CD can mix it all up for you. I can't vouch if it helped me pass NCLEX, though, because I also took Kaplan. The best part of the book are all the topic reviews, in my opinion.
Best Investment I Ever Made... October 12, 2009

I don't usually write product reviews, but I felt so compelled to write about this book because it helped me out tremendously during nursing school and when I was studying for NCLEX... I purchased this book while I was in nursing school after an instructor of mine recommended it. I am sure glad that I took the advice. The book is a great review tool because it is in outline-style format. I love that the chapters are separated into categories (Cardiac, Respiratory, Mental Health, etc.), so it is easy to find just what you are looking for. I have to say though that the chapters aren't all-inclusive - it is NOT a Med-Surg text book, or like any nursing text book you have. This book contains only the most essential information - which is all that you need to know, really. The images and tables are all so very helpful as well. I used this book to prepare for all my exams, and did fairly well in all of them. I got "A"s and "B"s throughout nursing school (and one lone "C" - but that's because I probably did not use this book to study for that one class...) And if you must know, I graduated from nursing school mid-August '09 and took the NCLEX mid-September '09. I self-studied and passed the first time with 75 questions - without taking any expensive review classes. The only review books I used were this one, Saunders' Q&A Review and the Kaplan-NCLEX RN Exam 2010 that I borrowed from the public library (but I could care less for Kaplan's decision-making "strategies"). Don't bother spending $500 for silly review classes - all my friends said it was a waste of time and money. You're better off studying on your own. Overall, I highly recommend this book for all nursing students - it worked for me and it will definitely work for you as well! Good luck!
Useful tool for studying for the NCLEX September 30, 2009
Heather C. Hodges (Puyallup, WA)
I like the way the author explains things and clearly outlines what to do and what not to do when one encounters certain questions. It gives numerous useful tips, and I found it to be worth the money spent (used). However, I was disappointed in the seller from Amazon because my books condition was listed as "like new", and it had a handful of pages ripped out of it! I was not well pleased to say the least!
