i have all the reviews and rationales books, but i only used them periodically as a supplement to my texts. i think they are useful. my peds instructor loved the one for peds, and she used it more than the textbook. i think it's a great supplement to help you study. go to a local barnes & noble and look through one before deciding to buy to see if it meets your study needs. good luck!

Oh I loved this book! It has some good interventions, and that was what a lot of our test questions were over. It is definately worth buying in my opinion. I had some advice from an instructor, which I found to be so true," Somtimes, you have to invest in your education." I have found that out, especially to get through my program! Happily to say I graduated last week! Stay focused!

I really like these reviews and rationales books. I have the comprehensive and peds versions. I used the peds as my text book for class as it outlined and boiled down the essential information, plus the cd of questions it came with was useful. The comprehensive book I used as much or more than my text books. The cd-rom is very useful for questions as well. The questions are more difficult than saunders. The maternity R/R is useful from what I hear. I know somebody who used it to pass maternity as she was having a difficult time with the class. Hope this was helpful.
