Kaplan NCLEX-RN 2007-2008 by Judith A. Burckhardt (2007, Package)

Clear, concise, humerous. It made several expectations about the actual exam very clear to me. It defined areas that were a priority for those taking this test (THE NCLEX) and helped me to eliminate answers that would clearly be incorrect.Helped me to identify what exactly the question was asking, and when to include information and what info was extraneous. The rationale shows why an answer is correct or incorrect and helps apply this info to other questions as well. Provided a learning "chain" so to speak- knowledge from 1 question was the building block for other questions. The cartoons and some of the comments gave a laugh when it was needed! It clarified that the exam questions were assuming ideal nursing situations with no staff or equipment shortages. That too gave help as to where the questions were headed. I would recommend this study guide for anyone taking the NCLEX.
