Looking to buy some possibly at Barnes & Nobles or online this Summer while I wait for next Fall to start. I'm enrolled for Mental Health, Adult Nursing I, OB, & Nutrition, so as you can tell I'll probably have a handful :).
Anyways...I want to start looking into buying some of these books really quick so I can get the hang of these type of question styles where we have to apply ABC's, Maslow, ADPIE on almost every question because I'm scared we didn't have that style last semester in our Fundamentals class & I've been told next semester that it's strictly that.
I'm just a little nervous because it's going to be a whole new game & especially seeing as how our class did the worst in the programs history according to the instructor on the exit ATI exam.

I have Saunders Comprehensive NCLEX review but am interested in what others suggest as well

I have the Saunders review as well, though I ordered and just received a Kaplan review (thought what the hey, I'll see if there's any difference!) I also do practice questions on the nclex3500 site (I hope that's ok to post!) I asked around and it was recommended and has, so far, been a great site for practice questions. :)

Saunders, Silvestri, Davis, Davis mobile, just about any you can find. There are many NCLEX review books available. I really enjoyed all the questions in the Kaplan package, didn't enjoy the course much though.
Thanks everyone! I've been using that NCLEX 3500 to help keep some funds fresh in my head & ordered a Saunders book from amazon :).

Did you mention OB? I took OB last term and I solely used Davis and relied heavily on NCLEX RN incredibly easy.

I have Saunders and Silvestri, which are both very good and can sometimes provide a better overview than a textbook. My companion book to the Davis textbook was also pretty handy. That said, I just picked up the newest Lippincott which has a very heavy analysis slant, which supposedly more closely mirrors the current NCLEX format. Keep in mind there are also quite a few apps out there that are worth trying. I'm a big fan of NCLEX Mastery.
