Block 2

So I've been looking around online and I've found a couple of books I like but I don't know which is the best. I'm about to start block 2 of nursing school and Mesa Community College. We're doing psych and intermediate med-surg. Does anyone know of good review books for either block 2 or for the text books? I've been looking at Saunder's 6th ed and HESI Nlcex-RN ed 4, but I'm not sure which is best. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Our text books for Med-Surg will be Medical-Surgical Nursing: Patient-Centered Collaborative Care, Edition 8 by Ignatavicius. Fundamentals of Nursing (2 Volumes) 3rd Edition by Wilkinson. For psych it is Varcarolis' Foundations of Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing: A Clinical Approach, 7e.

Thanks!

    Hi! I just started block 2 at GWCC and I bought Med/Surg Nursing Made Incredibly Easy, Med-Surg Success, and Pharmacology Demystified. All have helped tremendously for this first week. Hope this helps :)

    For NCLEX review books, get multiple so they question style changes. And as you study, there will only be so many questions that apply to the topics you are on. Multiple books provide for more questions in each topic.

    Saunders question tend to be a bit easier then some of the other review books, but their material review section is wonderful. That particular book would probably be better suited for actual NCLEX study. But outside of that, pretty much all of them are good for quick review and getting your mind set in NCLEX world before a test.
