This book was a wonderful resource to take the first exam (CRT), the CD-Rom was right on the money for studying off the computer. The information from this book was correct and precise. It was what the NBRC is looking for as far as answers are concerned. I passed my CRT exam with an 87%, I will be taking my RRT exam sometime this August and I will definitely use this book as a study guide. I hope all success in taking your tests.Good Luck
When I purchased this book, I intended for it to supplement the knowledge that I gained during the three years attaining a bachelors in Respiratory Care; instead, I spent much of my time thinking, "that's no correct" and looking up "correct" information from the internet and other respiratory texts.This book is FULL of WRONG information, incorrectly answered practice questions, typos, pre/post chapter study questions that are misplaced in chapters before the material covered by the question has been discussed, information NEVER discussed is tested in the "Practice RRT" exam at the back of the book...the list goes on and on.I implore you to save your money and NOT purchase this book. I myself plan to contact the publisher to receive a refund because it is one thing to have a few mistakes in a book but this text goes above and beyond in the mistakes department where it is a TOTAL waste of your valuable study time.If you are looking for a good RRT & CRT review go to the NBRC webpage for FREE and get the complete content matrixes - then look up the material you feel that you need to be refreshed with in your Egans Fundamental of Respiratory Care or the Essentials of Respiratory Care text. This is preparing you much more for the actual exams. Also, if you are looking for practice exams the NBRC webpage also has FREE CRT, RRT and Clinical Sims exams that will show you EXACTLY how the test real test will be.GOOD LUCK to all future RT's & remember DO NOT BUY "Respiratory Care Exam Review: Review for the Entry Level and Advanced Exams by Gary Persing"
If you want to have a clearer idea of what you are going to find in the CRT test this book will help you. the terminology is real simple, going straight to the point, pointing out what to focus on that will be on the test and what will not. You won't loose time on information that you don't need. It really help me.
This book is well written and for some reason just clicked with me. There were things explained in this book that I couldn't just grasp during my training in Respiratory School. Because of this book, I passed the certification exam on the first try. Thank you Mr. Persing.
It's a great review book. Not as detailed as Kettering, but I didn't like Kettering because it was overly detailed and hard to read. I highly recommend this book if you are looking to refresh your knowledge or just to review. This was all I used and it helped me pass my CRT and RRT first time around. I personally found what helped me the most were the practice exams. It was easier to learn from answering wrong cause it pointed out my weak points and told me why the right answer was what it was which further my instigation to learn more in that area. I would highly recommend buying the Kettering tokens to take their practice exams as well. I didn't do it, but I know it would have helped me in my test taking skills and management.
Bought this for the new 2010 RRT/Clinical Sim information. I am extremely annoyed that it DID NOT COME WITH THE CD-ROM!! As to other reviewers saying this book is incorrect; depends on how you look at it. The NBRC exam is flawed, so this book has to write to those flaws. It's just exam prep. No you wouldn't treat a patient by this. The book looks well put together with a pretest, review, and postchapter study for each of the 17 chapters. It has CRT/RRT practice tests with rationales. A page of commonly used equations. NO CD. Have to go to a website to take the computer tests and clinical sims. The clinical sims don't fit the browser properly so you have to scroll, but it does explain afterward better than the 2004 version. Between this, a hand-me-down Kettering, and experience I'm very confident I'll pass.
This book is well defined. It covers all the topics in a clear format. It provides access to the website for clinical simulations. More cost effective than Kettering. This is what I used to pass the boards.
Good book to review a couple weeks before the exam. It is written in outline form which makes a easy review. The short-cut equations are also good time savers. I passd my RRT first try.
