Overview

The Saunders Pyramid to Success for NCLEX-RN products by Linda Anne Silvestri offer a unique and comprehensive review program for the students preparing for the NCLEX-RN examination. The first component in the Pyramid to Success is SAUNDERS COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW FOR NCLEX-RN. The Comprehensive Review is extremely popular with nursing students and faculty alike primarily because of its comprehensive content review, unique pyramid features, and numerous practice questions (3,500 in all).

FEATURES:

  • Complete outline review of every content area covered on the NCLEX-RN.
  • Practice exams at the end of each chapter, with answers and rationales for all responses, test-taking strategies, question categories and level, and reference sources for every question.
  • A FREE CD-ROM that offers a total of 3,500 practice questions -- including over 1,600 that don't appear in the book.
  • Thorough coverage of pharmacology and dosage calculations in every body system unit along with practice questions.
  • Approximately 70 Critical Thinking/Free-Text entry questions to help you master prioritizing, decision making, and critical thinking skills -- important components of the new NCLEX-RN test plan.
