  1. HFCC - Nsg 120/126

    Just_An_Illusion replied to rn2b2011's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I didn't buy any of the optional books. Plus, there's plenty of reading with the required books. Trust. I know your only in 120/126 now but, I would recommend buying the Med-Surg Companion book by...

  2. Kaplan Book Test Questions Scores

    Just_An_Illusion posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  6. Saunders Study Exams

    Just_An_Illusion replied to Just_An_Illusion's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I haven't seen the 3rd edition but I wouldn't think there is too much difference between that and the 4th edition. Since nothing substantial has happened in the nursing world that would dramactically...

  13. ADN OCC or HFCC

    Just_An_Illusion replied to LisaCarterMA's topic in Michigan Nursing

    That is the one downfall for taking time off after your first semester. If you can I would recommend you practice, practice, and practice during break on your kids, spouse, friends, etc. Is the lab...

    Just_An_Illusion replied to oguesswhat's topic in Michigan Nursing
