Why buy separate study guides for each nursing course when all you need is one? This is the ultimate, all-in-one study guide to the core information nursing students need for success in all of their foundational courses and on the NCLEX-RN. Written in a succinct, well-organized, easy-to-read format, this affordable guide contains everything an undergraduate nursing student needs to know from the first day of school through the NCLEX-RN. The second edition is updated to mirror the new NCLEX-RN test plan and includes critical new information about medications, lab values, assessments, cultural considerations, and emerging disorders and viruses. It includes a completely new section on hematological disorders, two new chapters on Emergency Nursing and anxiety-reducing Test-Taking Strategies, and psychiatric content that corresponds to the DSM-V.
The guide closely follows the standard nursing curriculum and is designed as a reference for every core nursing course. To maximize successful exam preparation, the text highlights important material most likely to appear on the NCLEX-RN with a "TQ" (test question). Chapters are organized in a clear, consistent format with information presented in friendly conversational style--much like notes that students are likely to take. For every disease presented there is a definition, triggers, symptoms, and nursing care. Nursing students no longer need to be burdened with the substantial cost of purchasing individual study guides for each topic, since all of the information they need is contained in this compact, pithy, affordable resource.
