I'm online looking at some different NCLEX and HESI test review books and it is overwhelming, I was wondering what your favorites were. Thanks.

I'm enjoying the NCLEX Review Made Incredibly Easy book. The questions and answers are in two columns. You can just cover half the page with your hand, then immediately check to see if you're right. That simple design makes it so much easier than the books where I have to keep flipping back and forth between the questions and answers, especially when I'm exhausted (and when am I not?.
The Saunders NCLEX Review is also very popular with my whole class.

For NCLEX books I would suggest you check out the NCLEX forum may also get some guidance on HESI books as well

i would second saunders...the computer exams and the big paper book were a big help...I focused on sections based on what we did in class...and then I also tried the comprhesive exams for the hesi...I felt like it prepared me very well for the hesi and the nclex....

If i have to recommend a book I would say the Saunders and Lippincott's. Personally I'm taking the HURST review. They have a 98% pass rate. Everyone I heard take it, passed their first time. Everyone else that I talked to that didn't take it, failed with the exception of one.

I use Saunders NCLEX-RN review book. It's really awesome and saved my butt last semester!:heartbeat:redbeathe:heartbeat:redbeathe:heartbeat:redbeathe:heartbeat:redbeathe:heartbeat:redbeathe
I personally wouldn't bother with a HESI exam review book if you buy and NCLEX review book. The questions and content are so similar it would be a waste of money. IMHO.
