We have used your products for students to help increase critical thinking skills, prepare for NCLEX and course exams, and for review of nursing content. We recommend students purchase the Success Series and review the content and questions for remediation and to enhance nursing knowledge. The terminology at the beginning of each chapter provide key terms for the students to review before answering questions. The books are all encompassing in regards to what students need to review across the curriculum. We love them!!

Couldn't have gotten through without you!
This book was my lifeline. The way the questions are worded prepared me for how the tests were going to be and by studying the rationales as well, I was able to critically think through the questions I wasn't sure of. No lie, I wouldn't have made it through without this book and the peds one as well. One key advice, don't just ask and answer, really study the rationales because they are the key to the tests.
Worth its weight in gold!
I am currently using this for my maternity rotation. If you need practice questions for exams, this is the book for you! My plan is to use the hard copy for the semester and the online questions for the final. I have an A so far because of this book!
