I wanted to ask ur opinions. Ive already graduated from Pn school and now studying for Nclex. I'm using Saunders comprehensive review 4e and I went to a live hurst review and have there book also. Can studying only from those two help me pass the Nclex or do I need more books. Ur opinions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

That would be enough.

I realized passing NCLEX is highly related to how your school prepared you. Check your school's pass rate and this will give you an idea of how to prepare for NCLEX. I know people who tool NCLEX right after school and passed it with no prep course, whereas people who did all type of prep books/courses, did hundreds of questions and still failed it the first try.

I recommend linda a. lacharity book as well. prioritzation, delegation, and assignment.

I would say yes....I'm an RN and thats all I used....the hurst review which was live at the college I went to and saunders book was great. I did go over the sections in the saunders book. Which help tie everything together. Like in the hurst review once you know the core context you got it. You can spend thousands on books ...its all in how you attack the questions. I wish you the best. REVIEW OVER THE HURST THE WEEK BEFORE THE EXAM...and do 50 questions aday on saunders and read over the SAUNDERS SECTIONS in the book. LOOK AT THE SELECT ALL THAT APPLY QUESTIONS ALSO SINCE THE BOARD IS ON A NEW FORMAT THIS YEAR. The goal is to get more questions right then wrong(HURST).
