See what students are saying… A must buy for nursing school students! "I am currently in nursing school and my rotation is on a medical surgical unit, as well as my theory class covers a lot of medical surgical topics. I heard about these books to help with practice questions and boost test grades. These books are absolutely amazing. The questions are very thought out with rationales at the end of each question when you’re checking your answers. There are questions for nearly every subject matter and it really has helped bump up my test grades and my knowledge. An absolute must!" The med surg bible. “Want do well in Med-Surg? BUY THIS BOOK. The rationales are great and so are the questions. Hundreds of questions per topic.” This book saved my life! “After using this book to study for my next school exam I was so happy to see that I got a 94%! That being said, I really recommend this book to anyone who is currently taking Med-Surg, or preparing for the NCLEX®-RN.” A must for every student in the nursing field. “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. Honestly, if you can only afford one extra book from your text book, this will be the one to take.” “My first HESI exam in Med-Surg I nearly failed. Thereafter, I seem to be unstoppable thanks to the Success Series. I've gotten all "A"s in my nursing courses getting mostly above 90% on exams after using your products. I'm a tutor on campus so I recommend it to everyone! If you need further explanation or testimony I would gladly provide it.” - Ann Voss
