Books you'd recommend for NCLEX-RN practice questions?

Hello,

I'm studying for the Nclex-rn test which i'll be taking on july 23rd, and I'm using the Saunders review book (2008 edition). Has anyone used this book and how was your experience? People recommend practicing questions more than anything and I've heard the questions this book provides (on the cd as well) are more of review questions or not really the complex, application questions that are to be expected on the actual nclex test. The book of course recommends the Saunders Q & A book that has only questions to practice with. Would you say it is a good book to invest in or are the questions in there the same as the review book and i should therefore look for another that has harder questions or questions more like the nclex ones? Are there any books that you've used that have questions like the nclex ones that helped you?

Thanks!!!

I borrowed books from the library to read questions, even if they were 2006/2007 versions-the more questions you practice, the better prepared you are-remember that!

But personally I purchased Kaplan and Lippencott's NCLEX review books-and loved them both.

Good luck!

Does anyone have any tips on how to study? I have taken the rn exam a few times and I want to give up, but I really want to be a nurse! I'm just not sure what I'm doing wrong when I study. I have several nclex books but I must be missing something or doing something wrong when I study. Please help!!

I am so sorry to hear that, but don't get discouraged.

I basically did questions, the only time i opened the book was for referencing. I did q bank questions from kaplan and used the nclex 4000 cd. There's definitely going to be priority questions on the exam as well as infection control questions. Hope this helps.

Thanks I give it a try. I just bought a book to help me with priority questions so I hope this time is the charm!:up:
