Hello all:
I am a first semester nursing student. I am really struggling with acceptance since being in nursing school: acceptance that I am no longer an A student, BUT I want to be an I am willing to continue to try even though at times I feel 100% defeated. I've YouTubed and looked around/asked around for ideas to improve my nursing grades, and I have heard a lot about getting a NCLEX review book to boost my scores.
SOOOO
anybody know of some titles that are worth paying for? I would like to find a book that will help with individual topics/courses AS WELL AS help me prepare for the NCLEX in two years. I've heard a lot about Saunders. Just want to make sure I get the best deal for my money.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!

LaCharity is a great book but probably not anything you need until Leadership.
simplenursing.com is in my opinion absolutely worth the money especially if you are in your first semester.
What are you doing to study? Do you have a study group? Are you working?
Currently I do not work, but I do have two children and a long-term boyfriend. Also, I am learning at a distance (one hour from school). The website that you mentioned: does it provide lots of nclex style questions? That is what I have heard helps boost grades the most.
I don't do a study group right now for the sole reason that I am so far away and hate that I have the feeling of being neglectful to my babies I'm really not doing so bad, I have a solid 88 in all of my nursing classes....I just really want to get it over that 2 pt hump so I can be an A student again.
and what exactly are you paying for when getting the membership for simplenursing.com? I see that you can view Michael Linares videos for free on YouTube.
