I used the Mosby book, the Mosby cards, and the Saunders book during my nursing education and lead up to the NCLEX. I found that the cards were by far my favorite for my NCLEX review as the books were too big and had a good deal of information I did not need to review.However, the books were invaluable for my class exams. I could focus on the topics necessary without the fluff that a regular textbook can sometimes add. In addition as one of my early professors noted, professors get the test questions from somewhere. Usually itâs either from the textbook, which is obvious after the first test, or from an NCLEX review test bank. I often recognized questions from the books or the accompanying CDs on my exams.Despite both books being helpful, I would advise against purchasing both for two reasons. First, the information is the same. The onset of action of insulins is the same regardless of who wrote/edited a book. It becomes a preference for how the information is presented. I personally liked the Mosby book layout better. Second, both Mosby and Saunders are published by Elsevier. The CD test banks with each book had similar layouts, and I recognized identical questions between the two. But there are key differences between the two program layouts.The Mosby CD starts with a choice of mode â study, quiz, exam or audio key points. The study mode gives instant feedback and rationales after you submit an answer. Quiz mode allows the user to select areas of concentration and select the number of questions; feedback is provided upon submission of all questions. The exam mode is one of two 265-question comprehensive exams with feedback provided upon completion. Audio key points are lectures summarizing endocrine disorders, fluid and electrolyte balance, impaired skin, infection, neoplastic disorders, neurological system disorders, pain, perioperative care, and teaching and learning. I did not listen to them. Selecting study or exam mode then gives a choice of clinical area (foundations of nursing practice; medical-surgical nursing; mental health nursing; childbearing and womenâs health nursing; and child health nursing). Then the user can select categories of client needs, cognitive level, nursing process, and integrated process. The category really only allows the user to select smaller subcategories. If you select all the subcategories, each category has the same number of questions within a clinical area so if you pick a single category and answer all the subcategory questions, youâll answer all the questions in that clinical area. My biggest problem with the Mosby CD is the rationales. If you get a question wrong, it only gives you rationale on why that answer was wrong. If you want to see the rationale for the correct answer, you need to go back one question, then go forward to reset the question you want, and select the correct answer. This is only possible to do in study mode. Too bad if youâre in quiz or exam mode. Alternate question formats are randomly strewn throughout the question bank.The Saunders CD starts with a choice of assessment, study, quiz, exam or audio review modes. Assessment mode is a 75-question practice test to help the user determine what to concentrate on. I didnât use this because I knew what I needed to work on. The study mode gives instant feedback and rationales after you submit an answer. Quiz mode allows the user to answer 10-questions in a select area of concentration; feedback is provided upon submission of all questions. The exam mode is up to 100-questions in the selected concentrations. Audio reviews are lectures summarizing fluids and electrolytes, acid base balance or pharmacology strategies. I did not listen to them. Selecting study, quiz or exam mode then gives a choice of category (cognitive level, client needs, integrated process, content area or alternate item formats). Cognitive level, client needs, and integrated process are similar to the Mosby set up. The content area category was my favorite. You can select one or more subcategories such as âAdult Health: Cardiovascularâ, âAdult Health: Renalâ, âChild Health: Hematological/Oncologicalâ, âMaternity: Intrapartumâ, and âFundamental Skills: Cultural Diversityâ. Alternate Item formats offers subcategories for audio, figure/chart, fill-in-the-blank, multiple response, priority order, and video. The rationales provided reasons for the correct answers and the wrong answers despite what the user chose.Overall while I preferred the layout of the Mosby book, the Saunders book was good and the Saunders CD was superior. If I only repurchased one, it would definitely be the Saunders.
I used several different guides to study for my NCLEX-RN. This book was by far the easiest to use, and I passed first try which is everyone's goal!
Very happy with the results. I passed the nclex on the first try, 75 questions. This book really prepared me for the nclex, hesi review and also helped with test taking during school. Highly recommended.
recommended by EmpoweRN. If you're studying for the NCLEX or just starting as a nursing student, this is a fantastic review. Also, if you're just starting in a nursing program, look up EmpoweRN on youtube. she is a saint and a sanity saver! LOVE HER!
This book was exactly as described, and not only has over 2000 Nclex questions, but additional software and questions on the CD that comes with it! Great buy!
I highly recommend this book for nursing students. I use this book more than my text book required by my class. I love how many questions it offers in the book as well as on the CD. It has certainly saved me when it comes to taking my tests. Worth the money!!!
This book is such a great resource for nursing school!! I use it all the time, especially when reviewing for exams. I have not had a chance to use the software yet, but I plan to before my boards. I recommend this book for anybody in nursing school, especially if you are struggling in Mental Health or Maternal Health. It has all the info you need!
I love this book. Used it throughout all my nursing school. Great for the exams reviews. And lots of nclex-type questions. Will definitely recommend it for nursing students starting with 101, not only review.
