REA's Interactive FlashcardsWhat they're for...
How to use them... They come in a book, not in a box of hundreds of loose cards. They are most useful as test time approaches to help you check your test readiness. They are a good tool for self-study and also for group study. They can even be used as a competitive game to see who scores best.

They work with any text. The interactive feature is a unique learning tool. With it, you can write in your own answer to each question which you can then check against the correct answer provided on the flip side of each card. You will find that the flashcards in a book have several advantages over flashcards in a box. You dont have to cope with hundreds of loose cards. Whenever you want to study, you dont have to decide beforehand which cards you are likely to need; you don't have to pull them out of a box (and later return them in their proper place).

You can just open the book and get going without ado. A very detailed index will guide you to whatever topics you want to cover. You can take along REA's flashcard book anywhere, ready for use when you are. You don't need to tote along the box or a bunch of loose cards. REA's Flashcard books have been carefully put together with REA's customary concern for quality. Larry B. Larry B.

About the AuthorRebekah Warner is a Registered Nurse (RN) with a Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree. Upon graduation from the nursing program at Roberts Wesleyan College in Rochester, N.Y., in May 2004, Rebekah and her husband, Robert, moved to central Florida. There, she accepted her first position as an RN in the medical cardiology department of a large local hospital. The cardiology department is considered a critical care floor that consists of a primary population of clients with chronic or acute conditions of the heart. Rebekah's next position found her at a smaller community hospital in the area, where she is currently employed on the Progressive Care Unit (PCU).

The PCU is designed for the care of clients suffering from various critical conditions that are stable enough to be cared for outside of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). While in nursing school, Rebekah was inducted into Delta Sigma Tai, the honor society for nurses. She became a member of the American Association of Critical Care Nurses (AACN) in 2005. She is also currently certified in Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), and Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). Aside from this work, Rebekah has written review notes for basic college chemistry to be used for students who are preparing to take the College-Level Examination Program's (CLEP) Chemistry examination.
