Endurance is a true story about an explorer named Ernest Shackleton who tried to cross Antarctica. While traveling to Antarctica, his ship got trapped in ice. He was stuck on the ice with his crew for months until his ship, the Endurance, was abandoned. They then lived on the ice until they attempted to escape back to civilization. They hiked across miles of ice and sailed in life boats to Deception Island. Shackleton sailed to an Island nearly 500 miles away, then crossed the islands uncharted interior by foot. Finally he stumbled into the whaling station with his two companions and sent a relief ship to the rest of his crew on Deception Island.

This book is a great review tool. I waited 7months after graduating from nursing school to schedule my NCLEX-RN exam date. As time ticked by I became nervous that I made a huge mistake, that I would forget everything I had learned. I read this book once, did all the quizes and tests inside, used the online tools and cd rom provided. This book doesn't reteach you specifics but the rationales provided and test taking skills are great tools. I dont know what I would have done without the strategies that were taught in this book, they break it down for every type of learner...highly recommended!
