Saunders Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN (Saunders Comprehensive Review for Nclex-Rn) 7th Edition

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Essential for NCLEX Success!The Saunders Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN is hands down one of the best resources available for preparing for the NCLEX-RN exam. The content is comprehensive yet easy to understand, and it covers everything you need to know. The practice questions are challenging and help reinforce learning, while the detailed rationales help clarify any misunderstandings.The book also includes helpful test-taking strategies that make a huge difference in approaching the exam. I highly recommend this book to anyone preparing for the NCLEX—it’s an essential tool for success!

I call this book "The BIBLE" of nursing knowledge. It is amazing! It takes all the information you learn in class and turns it into a perfectly condensed outline. At the end of every chapter is a section of questions with wonderful rationales to help you better understand the material. I started using this in my third semester of nursing school and had wished I had it from day one! My grades went from a 75.5 on exam 3 to an 83 for exam 4 (I had purchased the book after failing exam 3). Then for another class that I was just barely surviving with an 80 average, I ended up getting an 86 on the exam following the purchase of this book. I've told all my classmates about it and they all love it and their grades have improved. The best part is that it also prepares you for the NCLEX and after talking with RNs, it appears to be a popular choice for NCLEX preparation. Safe yourself the headache and stress and by the best Nursing Bible on the market!!!! I should get some commission for all the extra purchases my praise for this book has resulted in at my school.

I wanted to wait until after my NCLEX to post this review:This book is great! I wish I had this when I was going through nursing school. It has every little tidbit you need to know about everything related to Peds, Mental Health, Adults, Maternity, and Fundamentals, all in neatly divided chapters. At first, this book seemed daunting because its 2 years worth of everything I’ve learned all rolled into one!!! But this book, along with the 500+ questions it has to offer, plus the comprehensive test at the end, could make any nurse confident in taking the NCLEX or just get through nursing school!I will say I supplemented my reading of this book with UWORLD as well because I needed help with NCLEX questions in general but this book helped me A LOT and helped me to pass my NCLEX in 76 questions!!!

This book is amazing! I always thought books like this were not something you should invest in until the end of your program before you take the NCLEX, but this book is a great study resource for your entire program. I am in semester 1, and learning the fundamentals of nursing, and the first unit in this book is packed with the exact fundamental chapters that we are learning in class. At the end of each chapter there are over 10 practice questions in that particular subject, and the answers right after, but the best part about the answers is they don’t just tell you the right answer, they include a detailed rationale for why that answer(s) is the correct choice. I have not accessed the online portion that comes with this book yet, but it looks like there is a question bank of the questions in the book and more. This is a must have for all nursing students and not just a last minute study guide for the big test. I highly recommend this book, at any stage of your program!

I bought this book around 1 month before my NCLEX-RN exam. I read most chapters in that time, often 8-10 per day in the two weeks leading up to the exam and found the layout, practice questions and also the abundance of online practice tests extremely helpful. I passed first time and found this textbook prepared me very well for this. Might I add, I am an international Nurse from the UK so felt like I needed an in-depth textbook for me to prepare for the NCLEX thoroughly and this Saunders textbook and online content gave just that. I read the Kaplan before this which was also helpful but less in depth than the Saunders. If you are an international nurse I would recommend Saunders; but if you're a US nurse who has recently graduated nursing school you may find Kaplan's textbook is enough for you.

I've had the sixth edition as well. The big change here for me is that the answers to the 15-20 chapter practice questions are now located at the END of each chapter-so you don't have to flip all the way to the back of the book every time. If you're a nursing student, you get how annoying that can be and that this is a nice change!As always, comes with a scratch-off code at the front of the book for additional practice questions online. I'm using this Saunders primarily for basic content review. The photos/diagrams in the book are also helpful. Saunders is consistently what my school recommends for reviewing the basics. I'm also using UWorld for practice questions for the NCLEX.
