Summary

For over 40 years, MOSBY'S COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF PRACTICAL NURSING has prepared students for the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses (NCLEX-PN). It provides essential content from all core clinical areas in a clear and concise outline format with review questions and practice tests that mimic the NCLEX-PN test plan. Thoroughly revised and updated, it reflects the April 1999 National Council of State Boards of Nursing's revisions for the NCLEX-PN test plan. Includes a total of 3,200 review and exam questions, 2,000 in the book plus a free CD-ROM with an additional 1,200 questions. (Includes a FREE CD-ROM)
