Negative Positive
Title: Probably great back in the day...
Review: This book is too old today to be useful as prep for the current NCLEX-RN. It was published in 1999. The test was reformatted last year or the year before and is much, MUCH harder than it used to be, so most NCLEX prep books published more than two years ago have questions that are much easier than anything current. The best use for this book is for nursing students who are in the first half of their program, and have not had a lot of content yet. The level of the questions are appropriate for, say, a sophmore in a baccalaureate program. A better choice for someone taking the NCLEX-RN would be just about any NCLEX prep book published in 2005 or 2006. Only buy this book if you are starting a nursing education program and want some basic questions.My other gripe is that although the book boasts "over 2,000 questions," many of them repeat throughout the 17 tests. And they need a proofreader.
Is the review positive or negative?
