Pediatric Nursing Test Success: An Unfolding Case Study Review (Original PDF from Publisher)

by Susan Scholtz, Vicki Martin, Francis Cornelius, Ruth Wittmann-Price

This novel resource for course content review of pediatric nursing and NCLEX-RN preparation features a potent learning technique-the use of unfolding case studies-to enhance critical thinking skills and enable students to think like a practicing nurse. Covering both basic and advanced nursing concepts of caring for children and families, this format embeds required content into compelling, real-life scenarios that evolve over time. These unfolding case studies are of particular value because they closely mimic real-life situations in nursing and provide situational mental models that assist students with problem-solving and critical thinking techniques.

All content areas required for NCLEX-RN success are interwoven in an enjoyable format that dispels the drudgery of straightforward memorization.
