Broward College 2010 Booklist

Published

I wanted to make this thread for those of us who are new nursing students and are hoping to read ahead before starting the program. Any reccomendations for books that can help with study/test-taking skills, critical thinking skills, or any type of nursing school prep??? Please provide the title and author of the book if you know it. Your help and suggestions will be greaty appreciated!!;)
