Preparing for the NCLEX-RN exam can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate this crucial milestone alone. For decades, nursing students have turned to Saunders Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN® Examination as their go-to resource, and for good reason. This isn't just another review book—it's a complete preparation system designed to help you develop the clinical judgment skills that today's NCLEX exam truly tests.
What makes this review book different from others is its unique approach to test preparation. With over 5,700 practice questions in both the book and online through Evolve, you'll have more than enough opportunities to test your knowledge. But quantity isn't everything—quality matters too. Each question includes detailed rationales for both correct and incorrect answers, so you understand not just what to choose, but why certain answers are better than others.
The 9th edition incorporates the latest changes to the NCLEX-RN test plan, including new Next Generation NCLEX questions that mirror the actual exam format. You'll find special sections on clinical judgment, Priority Nursing Action boxes that teach you how to prioritize patient care, and Pyramid Points that highlight content most likely to appear on your exam. The Pyramid Alerts in red text emphasize critical nursing concepts that you absolutely need to know.
This review covers all content areas tested on the NCLEX-RN exam in the same percentages as the actual test plan. From pharmacology and acid-base balance to more specialized topics like urinary elimination and mobility, you'll find thorough coverage of everything you need to know. The 75-question comprehensive exam at the end helps you assess your readiness before test day.
With customizable online exams that let you focus on specific content areas or cognitive levels, you can create study sessions tailored to your needs. The audio review summaries for pharmacology and fluids/electrolytes provide additional learning modalities, while mnemonics throughout the text help you remember complex information. Whether you're a visual learner or someone who benefits from auditory reinforcement, this book has you covered.
