Hey everyone so I was wondering if I should purchase an NCLEX book before I start my first semester or should I wait until the second semester? Thanks

Aug 20, 2015 Good day:I purchased Saunders and Lippincott's NCLEX books, and found them helpful from the start (mainly as part of studying for exams -- the more NCLEX questions the better). Go to a bookstore, review both before picking just one if you are going to get just one of them. Saunder's includes content with some NCLEX questions, and Lippincott's NCLEX questions (reasonable amount).Thank you.
