Anyone use Potter & Perry 7th Edition Nursing Fundamentals?

[Felicia327]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone is/has used the Potter and Perry Fundamentals book, 7th Edition. I wanted to see if there was any particular way of studying for exams using this book, for example, some say they study the key concepts of each chapter only, others say they read the entire chapter. What methods do you guys use? I took my first exam and ended up getting 46/58 correct, which comes to 79%. I was hoping to have scored higher, and I really want to know if I'm studying properly. Thanks for the input.

We had used the 6th edition during our first semester. We noted several errors in the text, but our instructors would always set it straight. Practice all the NCLEX questions, read the chapters, and take really good notes. Our instructors would usually mix it up between lecture material and NCLEX stuff.
