What about Brunner and Suddarth's? only because Saunders' usually uses it as a reference book in their test questions.

Sometimes reading a review book is better for school break reading just to get to know the basics and importatnt points to focus first. Just my suggestion.

We used Lewis too. I found it to be real good and still use it quite a bit when I need more information than is available in my Tabers or patho books.

Medical Surgical Nursing, 4th Ed. from Lippincott Review Series. I never even picked up my heavy med-surg text book. Used this little gem pretty much solo.

I was just about to recommend this one as it helped me a lot with Med-Surg when I took it last semester. The Incredibly Easy books are good too (though I don't have one yet). Another book that I used was Medical_Surgical Nursing: Reviews and Rationales by Hogan.

Top of the line though, is the Lippincott Review, I think.
