Does anyone know any helpful books for medsurg? I bought a few that are alright.... Med surg made incredibly easy, med surg review and rationales, and lippincotts review series med surg nursing. I'm kind of addicted to being books off of ebay and amazon. I'm begining to think I may have a problem! Some books I get and I don't like them so I just resell them or return them. I did buy a few of the test taking books that explain to you how to take nursing tests. They aall pretty much said the same thing. I even have 3 nursing care plan books. I have a feeling I'm going to put myself into a lot of debt if I don't stop! SO does anyone have a magical book out there that they'd like to share that helped them pass med surg? I have only one exam left, on GI, musculoskeletal, and Sensory. Any help would be grealy appreciated!

I used my notes, my text (Ignativicious: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0721604463/qid=1141006487/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/104-0700681-0871147?s=books&v=glance&n=283155), the med surg reviews and rationales that you mentioned, and my Saunders NCLEX Review book: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0721603475/qid=1134186834/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/104-0700681-0871147?s=books&v=glance&n=283155.

No one magical book but I did get an A :) Good luck.

I've also found Lippincott's "Straight A's in Medical-Surgical Nursing" to be pretty helpful for review. It's straight to the point and has little notes in the margins for quick reference.
