Summary: Best review book I used!!!
Review: This was the best review book I used for the NCLEX last year. I passed the first time. Easy to read and understand even new material. The questions were just like the ones on the state exam.

Summary: Takes the Intimidation Away for Medical Beginners
Review: Very few books actually take the time to hold your hand without simultaenously patronizing you. One might see this text as a doorway to the entrance of medical care. I am a newly trained Navy Hospital Corpsman (military medic), and right out of training, I am already expected to be familiar with patient Sickcall procedures and writing SOAP notes. This book greatly helped me in taking the patient's basic history/exam and provides common assessments to choose from. It also reinforces it's contents with small quizzes after every chapter. Numerous pictures and examining techniques are also clear and concise. Keep in mind, however, that it's "user-friendly" demeanor makes everything simple and to the point; I've learned that nothing in the medical field is simple. For more information on disorders, diseases, or illness, I suggest using traditional medical references, like Mosby's. All in all, I commend this book's ability to boost a medical practitioner with little experience up to one of professional competence and skill. And, it's fun!
