I used Fundamental Success by Nugent Vitale for fundamentals of nursing. It is a great book and you can practice questions according your chapters. The book is divided in chapters that are similar to the fundamentals of nursing, so you can practice in the book when you finish reading chapters and has questions only. The other book that is very good as well is Nursing Fundamentals reviews and rationales by Mary Ann Hogan, it gives you a review before you take the test and it has a cd as well with more questions. What happens is that sometimes you understand the material better in other books than in the text book. The other excellent books as well are the Straight A's and you have a great variety and what you can do is to go to the bookstore to shop around and see which one you like better or feel more comfortable with and then order it online, I ordered mine from Amazon because these books are a kind of expensive and you can get a better deal online, just shop around. Good luck!!!

I agree with the Hogan reviews and rationales, plus I use Med surg success ( Colgrove and Callicoatt) now, in med surg.
