Who wouldn't benefit from knowing what their test is going to look like? Being prepared with Fundamentals Success meant I hit the ground running. I aced my first test when most of my classmates were facing their first ever academic failures. Nursing school is nothing like anything I have ever done before, memorizing text books will do little to prepare you to be a critical thinker. To succeed you must be able to apply the knowledge in multi-step process...the nursing process! The FA Davis books take you there and they do it quickly, because we nursing students needed to know it yesterday!” - Corrie Cyre, Hillsborough Community College Southshore Student Nurses Association President

I was struggling with my fundamentals class and was barely making it with a C. I got this book 75% through my semester and my test grades increased dramatically. They went from me getting 70's to getting high B's. I wish I would have bought it before the semester started...so I really recommend this book if you are taking fundamentals. It helps greatly with test taking skills and it also gives you rationales as to why an answer would be incorrect...something that some teachers fail to do. This gave me a better understanding of things! I'm keeping it to help me with my NCLEX and HESI exit test! I started off with no hope for passing the course and ended up with a B in the class. Highly satisfied! I will be buying all the series for my future nursing courses!
This book was an optional text for my first semester of Nursing school. I really wish that I would have looked at this book at the beginning of the semester instead of a couple weeks before my HESI Fundamentals Exam. This book really does help you with critical thinking questions that are normally on Nursing Exams. This also comes with a bonus CD that gives you 2 additional practice tests for Fundamentals.
This book was awesome! I was struggling with the NCLEX style questions on our exams and would always second guess myself, but the practice questions in this book have really helped me learn the skill of picking the "best" answer. On my first test I got a 72 and on the second test I got a 90! I'm so glad I made this purchase and I highly recommended it to anyone who is struggling with the NCLEX style.Each chapter in this book has at least 40 questions and in the back there are rationales for every answer. Please don't hesitate! I know how overwhelming nursing is and this book helped me so much!
I was so nervous when I started my first semester. My first exam I barely passed with a 78, failed my second exam, but the final three exams, I got an 81, 82, & an 89 on the final, respectively. Needless to say, I purchased this book after failing the second exam, sought out some additional help from my advisor, and VOILA! I was so proud of my improvement in studying, retaining, and applying the material. This book was a tremendous help because I LOVED practicing the questions in the book with the assigned readings from another textbook. I wasn't just remembering, I was actually understanding and applying the material AND teaching others in my study group.
Very, very helpful. Even teachers are using questions for the test out of it :-) worth the money. Rationals are very helpful
I had taken the HESI A2 test with CT, but failed to make the minimum score for the Critical Thinking section because the official study guide did not give me any indication of what was on the test. I went through this textbook meant for nursing fundamentals (better value for the buck than the official HESI study guide). Knowing a few things in it (such as who to treat first in a triage, how to respond to a patient in a situation, how to decide which action is most important/essential, how laws apply, when the patient is given priority over legalism or what seems logical, etc.) got me over the hurdle; I passed the CT section by 2 questions. Plus, it was just interesting to find out what I will later learn when I become a nursing student.
I bought this book for my fundamentals of nursing class. I did questions from it each day and it was very easy to do because the chapters corresponded well to the ones in my textbook.When it came time for our final at the end of the term, I credit this book for the reason I passed, not only passed, but made one of the top scores and was one of the only people to get an A overall in the class. Amazing book, would re commend to all nursing students just starting out!
Great resource book to study. Get this book when you start nursing program, it would help you study and it has the rationales for every question at the end of the chapter. I recommend it to every nursing student starting. Worth the money to spend.
