Cracking the NCLEX-RN

Book excerpt: The Princeton Review realizes that acing the NCLEX-RN is very different from getting straight As in nursing school. The Princeton Review doesn’t try to teach students everything there is to know about nursing--only what they’ll need to score higher on the exam. There’s a big difference. In Cracking the NCLEX-RN, TPR will teach test takers how to think like the test makers and: •Score higher by knowing in advance what will be on the test •Ace the exam by reviewing key topics such as: Adult & Pediatric Physiology, Health Promotion and Maintenance and more •Avoid surprises with TPR's step-by-step instructions for obtaining your license **This book includes more than 1,100 review and practice questions. In addition, there are more than 250 NCLEX-RN style practice questions which are just like the ones test takers will see on the actual exam, and The Princeton Review fully explains every solution.
