There is a reason Saunders Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN Examination has been called 'the best NCLEX exam review book ever.' Essentially, students find everything they need to review for the NCLEX exam under one cover - complete content review and over 4,500 NCLEX examination-style questions in the book and on the free companion CD! Educator Resources let you incorporate the textbook to fit the specific needs of your course, while the companion CD provides detailed feedback and assessment from your students’ work. Don't let your students make the mistake of assuming the quality of the questions is the same in all NCLEX examination review books, because only Silvestri's Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN Examination includes the kind of questions that consistently test the critical thinking skills necessary to pass today's NCLEX exam. And, what's even better is that ALL answers include detailed rationales to help students learn from their answer choices, as well as test taking strategies that provide tips for how to best approach each question. It's easy to see why Silvestri is THE book of choice for NCLEX examination review. But don’t just take our word for it - read any customer review or ask your colleagues to see why Silvestri users believe that there's nothing else like it!
