I'm stuck between Prentice Hall and Saunders comprehensive review. I'm 8 weeks away from graduation and want to buy a good nclex book. So far I have three and two of which is prentice hall ( medsurg, and pharmacology). If you have to spend your last 50 bucks which one would you purchase? thanks. :)

I have both books. IMO, Prentice hall has good info but way too much. Saunders breaks everything down and will prepare you well for the test. Saunders type questions are very rare though. I would also suggest you get the Prioritization, delegation and assignment by Lacharity ($24) and use the free Kaplan Qtrainers (slideshare). You can find the link on this site. Best of luck! :)

I agree with shmaylay. Those were the books I used. Took the NCLEX with 75 q's and passed.

LaCharity is a must..22% of NCLEX questions are Prioritzation and Delegation.

Also a big fan of lacharity. If you want to save money, I would buy the old edition of the Saunders comprehensive review. It's exactly the same as the new edition except that the words in bold are in black and not red. The practice questions are also the same.
