NCLEX Study Books

Published

I want to purchase a study book for the NCLEX; however, there are so many out there that I'm having a difficult time deciding which one to get! Does anyone have any good advice about which is the best book to buy? Thanks!

I have heard that Mosby's is the best. I have Davis (which I like) and Saunders (which I'm still trying to figure out).

My friend in Ohio (who just recently passed her boards--GO LORI!!!!!) is going to send me her Mosby's.

Good Luck in what you're searching for!

I have Mosby which I love and it is like one of the most popular NCLEX books around. Instructors at my school are highly fond of Mosby.

I also have Saunders which I really like as well. They have a CD-ROM that comes with the book and it is wonderful.

Kaplan is a third NCLEX book that I have which wa given to me as a gift and it is a wonderful book that explains test-taking tips and how to interpet the question. It is a book that I would personally recommend to all beginning nursing students just starting their nursing program.

Lippincott is another book that I have which was also given to me as a gift and it is wonderful for their questions.

So, as far as studying for the NCLEX I would recommend Mosby and Lippincott.

Good luck.

I have a Mosby's.

I also have one from springhouse: nclex-rn review made incredibly easy. Its a cool series that they have (they have ekg interpretation made incredibly easy, pathophys, F+E, etc.). Its helpful, and it comes with a CD.

My school offers a kaplan review course prior to taking the boards at the end of the last semester, so I plan on taking that as well.... I really think that I'll be fine.

Springhouse's Made Incredibly Easy series has two for the NCLEX, one is a review book, the other is a book of questions. I used both of these and the schools CAT practice program....Also got together with friends and did study/question sessions, worked out well because we all had different books to share.

If I just use Lippinicott (4000 questions), know it very well, do you think that's enough to pass????

Thanks for replies!! Kim

I praise Saunders Comprehensive REview Book only as review source... WHY? Too much books gives u an impression that u have to read or finish the book then go to another INSTEAD of FOCUSIng, UnderstandING WHAT NCLEX are looking for us.. As a foreign student, Saunders helps me alot.. With their simple words... DEtailed explanation for both right and wrong answer.. ITS working for me, HOW? BEcause before i even score 50 to 60% on the practice test.... I tried to enroll to MOSBYS CAT lately, and try if i already know something.. AND YES IN JESUS NAME I ALREADY KNOW SOmething, Saunders helps me alot getting 94% in practice test...

So still focusing reading Saunders again and again until i absorb the knowledge~
