It had more comprehensive exams with better rationales. But I used a variety of books. Personally I benefited from having a lot of different sources, the more sample questions the better. I studied for a week straight prior to taking NCLEX. I answered something like 3000 questions and read every rationale. That was the most helpful to me. And if you take those comprehensive exams and are able to consistently get above 60%, you are basically sure to pass. Good luck! I used the Saunders Q A book and liked that one a lot.

I remember at one company I worked for we had a supplier listed as a minority owned business but the guy who owned it was actually directly descended from (European) Spanish and American Irish parents. According to the MBE definition HM uses, this wouldn't pass muster. But, the guy spoke Spanish fluently and had really made a niche for himself in the local Hispanic community so that was considered close enough for my employer's purposes. I do think working with the NMSDC does make it much easier to sort out the certification process. Daisy McCarty That is a fairly rigorous certification process.
