Nursing is one line of work that can't be outsourced to another country, that is a 'growth industry' as the American population ages, and is both constantly demanding and in constant demand. But to be a nurse takes more than graduating from nursing school--it also requires being able to pass a nursing licence examination and becoming certified. For those aspiring nurses who wish to become licenced Practical Nurses, Kaplan Publishing's "NCLEX-PN; Strategies For The Practical Nursing Licensing Exam 2009 Edition" offers a compilation of practical, effective test-taking tools to substantial and successful aid aspiring nurses to pass their licencing exams. The collaborative work of Barbara J. Irwin (National Curriculum Director for Nursing Programs at Kaplan, Inc.), Patricia A. Yock (formerly the Director of the Practical Nursing Program at Front Range Community College), and Judith A. Burckhardt (Executive Director of Nursing, Kaplan Inc.), "NCLEX-PN" offers 145 exam-style questions; detailed answer explanations; complete review of all question formats; up-to-date information on the latest test plan; critical thinking strategies; and an online practice resource. "NCLEX-PN" is a thoroughly 'user friendly' test exam preparation manual and strongly recommended for any nursing student preparing for their Practical Nurse licencing test.
