I found that the success books helped me to know where to focus my studying and also gave me a lot of great review questions that really prepared me for my exams! By using the med-surg success book, my grades shot up from an 89 to a 96. Also through the med-surg success book, my grades were consistently in the mid to high 90's range. I encourage all my friends to use the success books and they can agree that it has really helped them as well.” - Esther Hung, Student Nurse at Molloy College, Rockville Centre, NY

Last semester, I used Fundamental Success, which helped tremendously. I went from "C" to "A". Therefore, I decided to buy this other one. Given that the nursing program is very intense, it can be very difficult to read through all the materials. "Med -Surg Success" covers the entire chapters in the form of NClex questions. It is better than the text bank. The author of the book gives a rationale for every question, even the wrong ones. At the end of every chapter, there is an exam style questionnaire! I noticed that if you can answer the majority of those questions correctly, it will not only give you a better understanding of the topic, but YOU WILL PASS THE TEST in your class. I realized that there are always quite a few questions (or similar) from this book that comes to the exam.Honestly, if you can only afford one extra book from your text book, this will be the one to take. I hope that it will be helpful to others as it is for me.
I just received this and have to say, I am very excited to test my knowledge now that I am getting toward the end of this wonderous nursing school rollercoaster! I have heard a lot of really good things from instructors, I have the old edition of this book on my Kindle but I really wanted the new edition so that I would have a hard copy as well. There are a lot of similarities amongst the two but the new one definitely has new information. I would highly recommend this!
I got a straight A's in med surge 1 and 2 because of this book! I aced the HESI because of this book. I didn't even use my school's text book to study. Just this. It has NCLEX style questions with rationale at the back of each chapter. It is divided up by body system. Weak in renal? Just go to the chapter on renal. This book is gold if you want to ace nursing school.
Great Book goes in depth with clear cut concise explanation and details concerning what should be done in a health care setting.
I never write reviews, but had to for this book. I just finished my Med-Surg semester and bought this book just before the last exam, I should have gotten it earlier. No matter how much I was studying I was just barely passing and I couldn't figure out what to do different. I got this book and the questions and especially rationales seemed to make everything click. My last exam I got a 99% on. I attribute that a lot to this book. SO HELPFUL.
This book single-handedly got me through Med-Surg tests and made studying a little bit easier. In nursing school the real trick is to do as many practice questions as humanly possible, and this book is amazing just for that. I even had one professor who took questions right out of the book. It was the best quarter ever! ;o)I highly recommend this book to all nursing students! You'll thank me later!
Because this book teaches you strategy. If you know the fundamentals of nursing and body systems, this helps you pass the tests with no issues. However, don't completely abandon your textbook. This book, as great as it is, cannot mold you into a great nurse. But it does teach you how to think like a nurse.
Don't study med surg without it! I went from not knowing how to take tests, to applying knowledge in the correct way. Med surg class is not memorization- so get this book!!!
