Best study books for second year nursing students

Published

Hi everyone, I'm a second year nursing student and was hoping for some advice on the best nclex or any study books to get me prepared for exams.. This semester is all disease processes. Thanks for your help..

Saunders nclex review is, in my opinion, all you need. Get an edition that's one edition older...much cheaper and the same info. :)

Thank you. Have you come across Lippincott Q&A review? I was leaning towards that. A lot of posts on here recommend Kaplan but I'm torn.

This is just my opinion (and incidentally also what I did), but others may have different recommendations:

I used the Saunders book for class. A lot. It's concise and covers every disease process and topic that we covered in classes. We had a mandatory Hesi review our last semester and that's the only review class I did. However, I did purchase the nclex mastery app and used that to practice questions for nclex. Those were plenty for me, covered all the info without being overwhelmed by 50 different resources. Good luck to you!!

I love my Davis Nclex review. We had Saunders in our book package I used it also. I think I liked the Davis rational better. Having both was awesome.
