Prentice Hall Reviews & Rationales: Nursing Fundamentals, 2nd Edition)by Mary Ann Hogan, Mary Jean Ricci, Donna Taliaferro, Sara Bolten Review

Just completed my first semester of Nursing school, and could've scored a "B" using just this book and all the other online content assigned to class. This means I could've avoided reading the main textbook by Craven altogether! Our teacher was heavy on Nursing Behavior and light on Patient Pathology. This book did a much better job than the main text for test preparation. Each chapter has 20 questions with rationales, but the CD adds another 30 NCLEX questions per chapter, so over 500 questions total included.
