NCLEX review

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Hi, I am new here and recently moved to AZ. I just scheduled my NCLEX PN exam and I was wondering if anyone has any study books that I could use to study? I am really nervous and feel like I need to know so much more. Any study tips would be great! Also if anyone has picked up any type of pneumonics or little things to help remember things, that always helps :)

Check out your local libraries for copies you can borrow for free. Also look in the NCLEX forum and look at the facts thread sticky at the top of the forum.

Ebay also sell NCLEX books, I got my books all under $20 bucks each. Remember these following by heart:

Thank you! I have another question, I went to the library and they were able to give me two books. Are these books going to be helpful enough or should I try buy the other books I hear about on here (Saunders and LaCharity)? The two books I have are Davis's NCLEX-PN review third edition and Peterson's Master the NCLEX-PN. I don't think that either of these books has the prioritization and stuff that I've heard LaCharity does. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
