Books to use

Published

Hi,

What are some good books to have on hand throughout nursing school? I have the Saunders 5th edition NCLEX-RN, a few Made Incredibly Easy books, LaCharity, Taber's Medical Dictionary, and some pocket guides. Is there anything that helped you through nursing school that I don't have?

Thank you!
