Excellent review book

Being a visual learner, this was a perfect review book for me. Pages have great layout, the material is logically organized, and words are used carefully. As a result, the whole review takes less than 400 pages, in a friendly format. At first, I was suspicious about unusual colors of print (green, magenta, etc.), but it turns out to be easy on my eyes, while still very legible. The only drawback to me was the pharmacology info-it is all piled up at the end of the book. It was probably based on exam's percentage of pharmacology questions, but still feels slightly artificial. Otherwise, great book, and reasonably priced, too!

Directs your course of study

This book appropriately reflected the content of the Medical Surgical Nursing Certification exam. I read this book, reviewed the content outline on ANCC's webpage and pulled out my old NCLEX books to practice questions and passed on the first try.

Great book for CNS adult review!!

This book was great. I passed the exam the first time with this study guide. It was quick and to the point. It really refreshes the reader on everything that "ails ya".

A great reference for Med-Surg Certification

I found this text to be the easiest to use of all the review materials available to study for the Med-Surg Certification exam. It is comprehensive, but easier to use and understand than other outline-based review books. Please don't be mislead, there is more to studying for the certification exam than just reading a review book. Certification is a process. Use the review book to find your weak areas but you may have to use additional resources to study for them.
