What instructors and students are saying about the Success Series:

”We have used your products for students to help increase critical thinking skills, prepare for NCLEX and course exams, and for review of nursing content. We recommend students purchase the Success Series and review the content and questions for remediation and to enhance nursing knowledge. The terminology at the beginning of each chapter provide key terms for the students to review before answering questions. The books are all encompassing in regards to what students need to review across the curriculum. We love them!!”

– Louise Outlaw, Instructor at Brown Mackie College, St.Louis

”The practice questions with explanations helped me understand how to answer test questions and think like a nurse.”

– Allyse Edwards, Bryan College of Health Sciences, NE

“I honestly feel that every incoming student nurse should have a copy of the Fundamentals Success book because it familiarizes students with what their fundamental tests will be like. Who wouldn’t benefit from knowing what their test is going to look like? Being prepared with Fundamentals Success meant I hit the ground running. I aced my first test when most of my classmates were facing their first ever-academic failures. Nursing school is nothing like anything I have ever done before, memorizing text books will do little to prepare you to be a critical thinker. To succeed you must be able to apply the knowledge in multi-step process…the nursing process! The FA Davis books take you there and they do it quickly, because we nursing students needed to know it yesterday!”

—Corrie Cyre, Hillsborough Community College Southshore, Student Nurses Association President
