i used lisa arends' notes for micro and passed with an a, and i used sg101 for nc1 and passed that with an a (today -woot!!). i am not really sure which one i like better, so i wanted to know what everyone else thought, as i am getting ready to tackle nc3. i am also using tcn (can't believe i got suckered in by them, but oh well....i'm still using the books) and various other fundamentals, med-surg, peds, etc...books i have in my home library. thanks for the input!! :redpinkhe
