Pre Nursing Books

You can if you want look up some pathophysiology stuff, I bought the patho made easy book prior to entering nursing school and I think it helped. And if you want some pharm stuff. However, the pharm stuff more than likely a lot of it may not make sense, or you may not be able to retain it the way you will until you're in the class. Most instructors have easy to remember little tricks and mnemonics to help you remember some of the pharm and meds. My advice though, especially if you're already enrolled in nursing school, would be to just relax and enjoy your time with family and friends. Believe me when I say that you will have MORE than enough reading and studying to do once you start. I have 21 days left of my BSN program and I wish I would've taken that "relax while you can" advice a little more seriously. Hahaha. Not that you won't have any time at all to spend with your family and friends, but trust me it will be far less and few between. Best of luck on your journey.

I really liked "test taking success" from the Davis success series. The first exposure to nursing school style questions tends to be a pretty brutal the first exam (and through out, and the NCLEX lol)

it gives you suggestions how to study some of the material you'll be learning, shows you how the questions might look, and talks about the nursing process and how to apply it. I really liked it and felt like a had a small advantage over my classmates going into the first exam.
