For recent NCLEX passers......

[jadelique]

I would just like to know what books you used and what books you believe best helped you prepare for the test. I graduated in may and am scheduled to test on July 10. Currently I am using Saunders Q&A and Saunders Comprehensive review. I also have the Kaplan book and have read that cover to cover and done half of the questions in that book. I still have 3 weeks to study but would love to know what helped you guys pass the NCLEX.....SHARE YOUR WISDOM!!!!!!

PS.... CONGRATS TO ALL!!!!

There are already multiple threads on this same topic, you just need to take the time to do a search. That is why people are reading this but not posting to it.

I used Saunders 4th ed to review stuff that I was not confient about or needed a review on ---> cancer, chemo, radiation chapter...READ IT! I also would suggest reading the CV chapter and also the AIDS stuff. I used the Sunders Q&A book also but just for a few questions. Mainly, I looked over my critial care notes from class, and read the Kaplan book that a friend let me borrow because I couldn't afford a class. I also did most of the Mosby's NCLEX review cards.

My test was mostly patient teaching...I could not beleive it! They were over everything under the sun from post op patient teaching, to pharmacology patient teaching, to procedure patient teaching. NOT something I ever even thought about focusing on! Lots of home care sort of stuff too. Good luck! Don't forget about that Cancer chapter though!
