Description: A multi-part model exam plus many shorter tests in each of this book's chapters will give nursing school applicants the review and test preparation they need before they take an actual nursing school entrance exam. Though entrance exams vary from one school to another, this manual offers comprehensive coverage of virtually all possible test topics. The book presents a detailed description of the nursing profession, its duties, responsibilities, and career satisfactions. A self-assessment questionnaire that follows will help readers decide if nursing is the right career for them. There are also a series of test-taking strategies that provide readers with detailed advice on how to answer the different question types on each of these exams followed by a diagnostic test that gives nursing candidates the opportunity to assess their strengths and weaknesses before beginning their review. All of the major content areas, Verbal Ability, Reading Comprehension, Numerical Ability, and Science, are also thoroughly reviewed with sample questions throughout for extra practice.
