    This book is an in depth treatise for sharpening of your analytical skills with reference to the NCLEX questions which the nursing student will be confronted by throughout the student's time in classes. While this book is specifically required for my fourth level nursing classes, I utilized "NCLEX-RN Premier 2014-2015" for late semester exams in level three to my advantage. It is a worthwhile addition to your nursing book shelf.

  • Sharon A. Hinsley - Best oil for your hair

    My beautician uses this. I have very thick, coarse hair. After you wash your hair and towel the water out, pour about a tablespoon amount of Argan Oil in your palm. Rub hands together, apply to coarse parts of your hair. Massage through. Comb through. Blow dry and style. I've used this for years to give extra conditioners to my hair.

  • Mule Farm - WOW WOW WOW WOW

    I have a small (inexpensive) elevator in my home. For 15 years, I applied a pound of Lithium grease when it squeaked once every 1-2 years and it worked great. This year, it started squealing ( my hypothesis is this awful winter was cold enough to contract the metal surfaces even worse than usual) and I put 5 lbs of grease on it without results. I tried Silicone Spray. Nope. I tried graphite spray...nope. I tried spray on Lithium grease, nope. I tried WD 40 ---(about half a gallon) with limited success that failed in 2 days. I called an elevator guy who suggest this stuff---So I ordered it and used it and it was magic....it has been months since I used it and I think I am in love ! This is THE best ! Unbelievable ! SIGN ME UP ! I do NOT know what these guys put in the can but it is MAGICAL ! If you have a squeak you want gone or something that needs lubing, just get you a can of it and try it. UNREAL !

  • Amazon Customer - They have a soul deep connection that's pure and sweet especially in their adolescence

    Erik and Monique are another intriguing couple set in Edenton. They have a soul deep connection that's pure and sweet especially in their adolescence. They have hatred, prejudice and ignorance from outside parties influencing their relationship. At times I wanted to knock some sense into them, but they grew into talented powerful people, who help the Silver Council see their differences can be their strength. Their journey is definitely not to be missed.

  • Stacey E Jackson - Great purchase

    I recently went to Italy for the first time. This book helped tremendously when getting around, certain passes to purchase, and great recommendations on restaurants. I felt very prepared after reading this prior to traveling throughout Italy. I highly recommend this to first timers to Italy. I went there in mid September. He mentions about long lines to enter sites and how to avoid them. We felt we did not encounter this situation. Some topics discussed may be seasonal or during busy times in Italy. We saw many other people with his books as well. I will purchase other books of his the next time I travel abroad.

  • Eliana Carter - Huge waste of money

    I have owned this for almost 2 months. Used as indicated, as often as indicated and at the highest setting with NO RESULTS. You will not be able to return it after 30 days. Which it is perfect timing for the seller, since it takes over 30 days to see any results.

  • DS V - Amazing protein powder, so much better than others!

    This stuff has been awesome. We have used this whey product for about 3 to 4 years now. It is really great when you're trying to just have some protein when you're watching your weight, or if you're trying to get a bit extra for building some muscle. We tried this new flavor a couple months ago, and even though we loved the stuff before, this stuff even surpasses that in deliciousness. I had trouble drinking protein shakes until we found this brand. This brand is tasty and does not clump up like others. We drink it with water and never have any clumping issues. Even in milk, it is still much better than many other brands we've tried.
