Saunders Comprehensive Review is a good book and I'll also second that suggestion.
That being said, please keep in mind that you don't really know the reasons why these 19 ppl are repeating. Not being aware of their study habits, personal situations, or drive and ambition, can make those numbers seem overwhelming. Sometimes, ppl who are repeats bring it on themselves. Sometimes they are folks who just need that extra semester to really grasp the material. In our class, we've had several repeats join us over the past few semesters. Sometimes after getting to know them, it's understandable why they're with us. Sometimes life has gotten in the way of their having a smooth semester. Whatever the reason, it's been helpful to just take our own schooling one day at a time and keep trudging through.
Don't waste too much effort stressing over what's happened to others. Spend that energy and time studying and working toward a passing grade for yourself. My suspicion is that if there were 19 who are repeating, there were many more who went on to pass. Keep that thought in mind!!
I have never bought all my required textbooks either. Your library is a great resource, and i think they have to carry all required and recommended textbooks. These are usually on short-term loan (2-4 hours).
However, your public library is also a good resource, and you should always check to see if they carry your required and recommended textbooks as well. Those you can usually take out for several weeks
You should really get the saunder's book...I love mine!! It has a consice review of all the major concepts, since it is an NCLEX review book. This book has really helped me when I have been in a pinch. I think this book is around $40 and worth every penny. Good luck!

I have used Sanders comprehesive review for NCLEX-RN since the first day of NS... All A's and one B+ on exams. I highly recommend it!
