Has anyone found a comprehensive/review textbook that makes for a good additional study that hits on some of the topic points in the exams? I've been using SG101 and College Network binders, but I would like to supplement that in some way, as I've been consistently getting C's.

Thanks!

Hi ZackN... Have you gotten 'Fundamentals of Nursing'? It is one of the recommended textbooks, and I believe it is used for all or most of the Exams. If you download the Content Guide for each exam, it will list all the textbooks and resources to help with your studies. Good luck!

I have been using studygroup101 and find them awesome. If you're not getting the grades you want, you really should also use the textbooks. Are you doing the practice exams too? I found them to be very helpful - I study the rationales on the ones I missed - actually all the rationales.

I have been using SG101, college network binders, lisa arends notes and practice exams. I'll have to look into getting the Fundamentals of Nursing textbook.

Has anyone found a comprehensive nursing review book that would be helpful? I know there are several for the NCLEX, but what about something that has similar information as the exams are looking for?

A lot of people actually use the Saunder NCLEX review book to study for the EC exams. That might be helpful for you. But I found that a Fundamentals book was helpful to my grades, overall!

Yes, that IS a good one... I've got it, too!
