- I continually tell people that this is the best book I have ever spent money on. Heres why
Clear, concise, and to the point.
HESI hints- If you're going to read anything from this book, make it the HESI hints. The book points out what is most important for you to know in a topic and ways to answer questions.
Charts, pictures, and graphs galore! (usually I hate them, but these are actually very helpful!)
Chapters are set up by systems- extremely helpful when studying for nursing tests and the HESI finals
Pages are glossy and not easily ripped.
A whole chapter dedicated to the NCLEX exam and test taking skills (actually helpful tips)
Whats in this book
Chapter 1 Introduction to testing and the NCLEX-RN exam
Chapter 2 Leadership and Management (to be honest, I haven't looked at this chapter at all)
Chapter 3 Advanced clinical concepts- respiratory failure, shock, DIC, fluid and electrolytes, ECGs, HIV
Chapter 4 Med surg nursing (pretty damn comprehensive, whole chapter is over 100 pages)
Chapter 5 Pediatric nursing- disorders disorders and more disorders
Chapter 6 Maternity nursing- I read this instead of the ridiculous book we had. Did better on the tests than everybody else.
Chapter 7 Psych nursing- haven't gotten to this yet
Chapter 8 Gerontology nursing- haven't gotten to this yet
Appendix Normal values, recommended daily requirements and food sources, common lab tests
Index MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOOK
Works great for studying for those HESI finals, exit exams, in class exams, and the NCLEX. 100/10 would recommend for every nursing student.
Cons
Little pricey, but to be honest it was worth it. I'm not sure how it compares to the old version. - WASTE OF MONEY! I bought this newer (expensive) edition thinking it would have updated info or new/revised questions for the NCLEX. It ended up being the EXACT same as the older less costly editions. All that's updated is just a few pictures added to it. That's it. I wish I would have know. I would have saved my money and ordered an older edition. Nursing School is expensive. The last thing I want to do is throw away my money.
- I used it to study for pediatrics and maternity and I got 99.99% score!!! Excellent book!
- I have the older version also. This newer version has so many typos and mistakes that I suggest you buy the older version that's green. The older version has way less typos. I actually stopped reading this version and went back to reading the older version due to all the typos. It's almost like nobody proofread this version.
- There are only 101 online practice questions that you can complete with the online code. The exam questions and the study questions with the rationals, are the exact same 101 questions! I reviewed this book prior to taking a HESI final exam and I scored the exact same LOW score as I did the first time without this book. Additionally, there are typos throughout the text. So much for the newer version. Save yourself some money!
- I’m a 2nd semester nursing student, I bought this book because after failing my fundamentals hesi last semester and my PSYCH Hesi this semester as well and I was just done failing. I honestly cannot speak for everyone but after reading the whole psych section in this book, I PASSED MY PSCYH HESI RETAKE! And now I don’t have to do remediation. The HESI HINTS BOXES ARE TRULY LIFE! The people that made this book are part of those who set the exams, so it teaches you what exactly you need to know and gives u tips on answering the questions right.

- Bought this book after reading the good reviews, especially the ones claiming that they passed Ob/Peds HESI just by reading this book.
Not impressed so far. The book essentially just summarizes information from book (not in a particularly impressive way) and then at the end of each section, there is a list of questions (called review) which is followed by a page of answers to the questions in review.
Not very NCLEX or HESI style. There are some HESI hints weaved in throughout the reading.
Hmm. Not sure if my $47.07 was well spent. I would rather read the chapter in the book, make my own notes/index cards and then use Saunders or Lippincott for NCLEX questions. Why do I need this book? - I got a 953 on my Hesit Exit exam BECAUSE OF THIS BOOK!!! I only studied for about 2 weeks. Basically what I did was read through each section, pay CLOSE attention to the Hesi Hints and question sections (all in yellow boxes). After I would read a section, I would do the practice questions that came with the book access code. I did all of the sets, however the pharm questions did not really help me at all for the exit hesi. If you don't want to do the questions, at least DO THE COMPREHENSIVE EXAMS (there are two) that come with the book! It gives you a good idea for what kinds of questions the exit test will be asking you. I did these and would review and review what I got wrong. Lastly, two days before the exam I went through the book and only read the Hesi Hints. Know your labs, the book tells you which ones are crucial to know. SO THANKFUL FOR THIS BOOK!
