Product Description
NCLEX-RN Review Made Incredibly Easy! Fourth Edition is a NCLEX test preparation book that reviews course content in an easy-to-read outline format. The book uses the well-known Incredibly Easy! approach to make NCLEX review more interesting, enjoyable, concise, and less difficult than other review books on the market. It provides page after page of solid clinical information and clear, concise rationales in a light-hearted manner that encourages knowledge retention by decreasing study anxiety. Every area of nursing is completely reviewed, including adult care, pediatric care, maternal-neonatal care, psychiatric care, and professional issues. Critical thinking questions accompany each chapter to help students gauge their knowledge. The accompanying CD-ROM offers more than 3,000 additional practice questions to help students continue their preparation. This edition is fully revised and updated to match the April 2007 NCLEX test plan.

 Almost nothing on pharmacology ( 7864845763574 )
I got this from Borders only because I had a 40 percent off coupon. It's not bad, but I don't recommend using it as your only review book.
I recommend getting a review book with lots of questions. Make sure you get one with good rationales. Mosby's Review Questions for NCLEX-RN is excellent. I like Mosby's book because it not only tells you why the right answers are right, it also tells you exactly why the wrong answers are wrong. And Mosby's CD-ROM lets you quit and resume where you left off later.
What I did was keep a notebook with me while answering questions. I made a list of topics that I needed to review in the notebook. (e.g. "post TURP" or "lithium s/e") then I'd look up the topics in my textbooks later. (Yeah, I kept all my textbooks.)
This "Incredibly Easy" book isn't bad, but I was very disappointed that there was very little pharmacology review, especially since that is what I wanted to review the most.
I believe the best way to prepare is to do lots and lots of questions (100 a day for 30 days = 3000 questions) and make sure you read the rationales.
This book is good as a second or third review book, but not as a primary review book. I suspect the reviewers that stated, "I passed and I only used this book!" probably would have passed without any review book at all.

 NCLEX RN Review made Incredibly Easy
Excellent book to review prior to professor's lectures-gives the nursing student the quick and skinny about the topics w/ great little mnemonics, highlights most prevalent information, plus quickie illustrations-.....not an in depth book-but it is a great review.

 Worked for me! ( bradleyma )
I thought this review book was great. It didn't give you a bunch of extra info that you didn't need to be cluttering your brain with. Especially loved the CD-ROM with tons of questions. And after actually taking the NCLEX (and passing!), I felt like the practice questions on this CD-ROM were right on in terms of similarity to the actual test.

 Software Problems
The software included with this text has issues. In order to restart this program I have to uninstall/reinstall direct X and this program. Otherwise it simply fails to launch. I double click the icon and get the hourglass, then nothing. Although this is a known issue, their tech support has no fix. I cannot save my place during testing. This a major PITA since testing on a certain number of questions at a time is required by my university.

Only book I needed to pass NCLEX!!!
After trying to study off of the ENORMOUS books that my college profs made me buy, I was frusterated and overwhelmed! Then I bought NCLEX-RN Made Incredibly Easy and read through it instead. The book is simple enough that I could remember all the key concepts for various diseases, and the cartoons make it fun! I also did practice questions on a CD every day, and I passed the NCLEX in 75 questions!!! I now recommend the book on a daily basis to nursing students that come into my unit for clinicals! Get it and read it through-you'll be glad you did!
