Need opinions...should I get a PN or RN NCLEX review book?

[lilybee]

Hello:) I am currently enrolled in a PN program and will be taking the PN NCLEX this summer. Hopefully I will get into an RN bridge program right after that. So my question...should I go ahead and just get an RN NCLEX review book and use it for my PN test or would I be better off getting a book geared towards practical nursing? I know that there are subjects in the RN level book not covered at the PN level, but am thinking it might actually be beneficial to start learning those subjects now(as long as it won't throw me off for the PN test). Thanks!!!

i think you should get the PN review book, so that u can concentrate on that area..to avoid confusion as well...

Review books are not that expensive an outlay. Use the PN book now and get the RN version when you are ready to test for RN. That way, your RN book will be the latest edition available at that time.
