Book Synopsis

Celebrating its 60th anniversary, Mosby's Comprehensive Review of Nursing for the NCLEX-RN(r) Examination, 19th Edition is now completely reorganized and in full-color for an even better studying experience! Content is divided into units covering the core areas of medical-surgical, pediatric, maternity/women's health, and mental health nursing. Smaller chapters within the units break down information into smaller, more manageable pieces for a complete review of key content.

With over 4,100 questions with rationales in the book and on the companion CD-ROM for practice in print and electronic formats, this all-inclusive review is a vital study tool for the NCLEX-RN(r) exam.
