Garrison, Raritan, NJ —Celine Cucchia, San Jose, CA READERS’ COMMENTS Here’s what our readers have to say about Kaplan’s NCLEX-RN® exam guide: “I was the classic unsuccessful test taker when I started your book. When I was done, I had become a successful test taker. I took my NCLEX-RN® exam and passed on the first attempt. I credit Kaplan with that.” “The questions in the review book were just like the ones on the test. The tips on how to take the exam really helped me. I took my NCLEX-RN® exam and passed the first time!” “Thank you, Kaplan. This book, test, and strategies really helped me get through my boards. I passed on my first attempt with only 75 questions. Your program definitely prepares the student for success.” “The book is very user-friendly, well organized, and very comprehensive. It…gave me more self-confidence in answering NCLEX-RN® exam questions.…Two thumbs up!” “After doing all my reviews, I read this book twice and I went to take the test with confidence. I did it—thank you!” “Out of the 15 NCLEX-RN® books I bought, this Kaplan book was the only one that helped. The critical thinking and test taking skills were very useful in studying for the NCLEX-RN® exam. Thank you so much!” “I had taken the NCLEX-RN® exam twice and failed, I’d taken courses, etc. I didn’t need another study book—I needed a book that emphasizes test taking skills for NCLEX-RN® exam and test anxiety reduction. I took the test for the third time and passed!” “I am a foreign-educated nurse…On my exam day I was so confident and passed the first time. Thank you.” “Before I started to prepare for the NCLEX-RN® exam, I started with this book (I’m a foreign nurse from Switzerland), and it really helps me to have a critical thinking strategy and to answer the NCLEX-RN® exam question types. The practice test and the answer key are extremely helpful, the way it explains every single answer. So now, I think I’m ready to start the Kaplan course book. Thank you.” “Special thanks to the creators of this wonderful book and others related to NCLEX-RN ® exam. It was the best I could ever have gotten. I just feel sorry I didn’t take your review class due to [the fact that] I didn’t know about you guys 13—Elvia Manrique, Port Jefferson Station, NY —Nancy D. Zimmerman, South Windsor, CT —Jacquelyn Claude, Suffolk, VA —Nicole Sary, East Peoria, IL —Lianna Williams, Bronx, NY —Dana Adams, Fort Worth, TX —Lamberto F. Valera, RN, MAN, Jordan Valley, Israel —Dawn Nicole Lake Prince, Van Nuys, CA —Ngozi Uketui, AR until after I took another review class. But I was lucky to find this wonderful book. Thanks! I will recommend this book or anything related to Kaplan to the future generations of my nursing school. You guys are the best! Thank you and keep up with the good work.” “My husband gave me this book for Christmas and it was one of the best gifts I ever received. By reading your book cover to cover, I gained some confidence, learned how to reword questions, how to correctly read a question, and how to decrease some of my anxiety.…Thank you for a great book that I will definitely recommend to anyone taking the boards.” “This book was a blueprint to the NCLEX-RN® exam. I passed the test on the first try. Everything that was explained in the book was actually on the test.” “I plan to call my school and recommend this book!” “Reading the book was like an instructor talking.…The book is absolutely GREAT!” “Very easy to understand—MADE SENSE. Everything about this book was exceptional. After my self-esteem dropped when I found out I failed the first time, I didn’t know what to do….This book, I felt, was easy to understand, and when I went to take my test a second time, I walked out with confidence. The strategies in this book are why I am an RN today. Thank you so much!” “Truly an indispensable review…for every internationally educated nurse!” “Thank you, Kaplan, for this book!” “I bought [the] Kaplan textbook when I was preparing for [the] NCLEX-RN® exam last month. I was a foreign- trained nurse so I was finding it hard to answer NCLEX-RN® exam questions. The book helped me a lot.…I recommend this Kaplan study guide to everybody preparing for the NCLEX-RN® exam.” 14HOW TO USE THIS BOOK 15
