Need Help! I'm loosing my mind!!

Hello! No need to freak out..:)

1. If you are looking for a content review material, I would suggest Saunders 4th Edition as I am currently using it. I can say it is a good review for those basic nursing knowledge and I find it easy to understand. It comes with a practice CD of 4000+ questions.

2. Definitely, you need a strategy book. And there is no better book than Kaplan 2010-2011 Strategy book for NCLEX-RN. If you'll read the book, it can help you in choosing the right answer. Also, it comes with a practice CD which I believe contains 150 questions only.

May I also suggest to buy extra/additional practice questions materials since the practice CD that comes with Saunders' book is quite basic/easy. So you might want to look for supplemental questionnaires that are at least in par with actual NCLEX questions. :)

make sure to include lacharity priority and delegation book.

I have the lacharity in pdf format, not sure if thats the same with the book. I'm not even sure if I'm ready with the nclex exam. All I can tell right now is I'm not scared or nervous. Not sure if thats good or bad..

that book should help a lot. i was not nervous either for my nclex. i don't know if was due to taking the xanax the night before so i could sleep earlier or what. :D

Use Saunders for content review but Kaplan for questions. Saunders' questions were too easy in my opinion.
