NCLEX Prep. Books and Samples Questions

[colleen10]

Hi everyone,

I was hoping you may be able to recommend to me some NCLEX preparation books / sample test questions. I understand that my nursing program conducts tests in the same format as the NCLEX and thought it would benefit me to get familiar with this format.

If you can recommend any good NCLEX books I would appreciate it. Also, something that comes with a CD-Rom practice test and gives the rationale/reasoning behind the correct answer would be a plus!

Thanks for any advice and recommendations you can make.

See thread titled "Websites" for practice sites. I recommend Saunders Comprehensive review for NCLEX-RN, the CD is very user friendly. I also like Mosby's Comprehensive, but a new edition (17) just came out in Oct 2002, so don't let anyone sell you an old one. I haven't tried the CD from that one yet and the one that came with the 16th edition is basically DOS format.

I like the comprehensive books because you can use them to study all thru school. Almost all the inportant info from your ton of books is condensed in outline form. The Saunders is broken down into smaller sections with review questions after each section.

Good luck & have fun.
