Hello, here I am again, asking your kind heart as to provide me information on what is the best nclex reviewer to buy. I went to National bookstore and asked for nclex reviewer the available reviewers are from mosbys and lippincot (is the spelling right?), are they good for me who hasn't been active and idle for a decade?

It's $17. But don't they print cheaper ones for poor countries like ours? Yes, contacting Elsevier Singapore is a good idea.

No they do not have cheaper copies for any other country, that is what I am telling you. Even Thailand where the salaries are similar for nurses, the only rate is the same as for the US with the postal charges added on. That is why they are illegally printing copies in PI. Most are not legal, and if they do not have the same rate as the other countries, they are illegal copies.

:uhoh3: I ATTENDED THE KAPLAN REVIEW CLASS BEFORE TAKING THE NCLEX SIX YEARS AGO. AND TRUST ME THAT REVIEW CLASS OVER PREPARED ME FOR THE NCLEX. I PASSED WITH 75 QUESTIONS IN 98 MINUTES. ALL MY SCH MATES THAT TOOK THEIR REVIEW CLASS THOUGHT NCLEX WAS A PIECE OF CAKE. AN LPN AT MY JOB WHO COULD NOT PASS THE BOARDS AFTER 6 ATTEMPS FINALLY DID WITH KAPLAN REVIEW. TRY THEM, THEY ARE SO GOOD.

GOOD LUCK:balloons:

are re-published/philippine copyright books not allowed in the usa?..but they have rights to published, and i think its not a pirated thing..compared to those sold that are only xerox copies...

just my thoughts suzanne....;)

hael

republished books are not permitted. it is not an approved issue in the first place. there is no such thing as a republished book in the eyes of us copyright laws. if the book is taken out of your country, it can be confiscated.

remember that pi makes many of their own rules not are not accepted anywhere else. and don't you think that it is funny that no other country does this? even neighboring countries in se asia?

i find it quite odd.

If that's the case, I wish I just used amazon. Too late.:o

I do hope that one of you will contact Elselvier in Singapore and get their official word on this and then post it here.

I cannot possibly think of a reason where one country could make their own copy when the rest of the world is not able to. And there are countries that are much poorer than PI. Something is not on the up and up, and these versions cannot be taken out of PI either. Another thing that makes me very suspicious of it.

I emailed them. I hope they reply. This is their site: http://www.pas.org.sg/directory/elsevier.html

Definitely keep me posted on this one. Thanks for doing that.

Hi Suzanne. I received a reply. :idea:

Sorry for crappy camera.

All local versions legally re-printed and published locally in the Philippines are good. They are re-printed for purposes of affordability.

Aside from the hologram logo at at the back, there should be a disclaimer there saying something like re-printed w/ permission from Publisher A and could not be sold outside the Philippines, etc..

The local re-prints are printed on mimeograph (brown paper) w/ no colored pictures and is soft-bounded w/ a fully colored, graphic cover of good quality as you had illustrated.

I see. Thanks lawrence.

Still do not understand why this is permitted in Philippines and not any other country, such as Thailand, Malaysia, or even Indonesia.
