Just wanted to pass along my recomendation for this book. I really wish I'd found it earlier. I wish I had it in school. Really good. Just the facts, just what you need to know. It's like 400 pages shorter than Saunders, but I think there is close to the same amount of info in there. There are really good drawings about different conditions. It's relatively easy to read. I'm finding all the info I need in there, mostly. When something is a little unclear I go to Saunders, but for the most part I think this is much more organized.

The CD is really good. I think the questions are mid-level to upper level in difficulty, maybe not as bad as Kaplan but still pretty difficult.

Like I said, if I'd had this 3 weeks ago, I'd be a lot better off. It's quite good. I think this, along with the Lippincott 5000 questions book would be a really good combination.

I have a number of the Prentice Hall reivews and rationales, which were pretty good for school but I found not that helpful for studying for the NCLEX.
