  1. Would an NCLEX RN study guide be useful for nursing school?

    yooper13 replied to Lucidity's topic in General Students

    I second that with the Saunder's. I haven't used the Lippincott's, but the Saunder's has been a wonderful study guide...The CD-rom has been really useful for me; I am constantly doing self-testing...

    yooper13 replied to Israfel's topic in General Students

    yooper13 replied to nickyp's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    yooper13 replied to kdbean530's topic in General Students

    yooper13 replied to michiboo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I thought of that too, but never asked since they knew I was going to school, and would be quitting anyway. While it's a great idea in theory, it depends on your employer, as they will be paying for...

    yooper13 replied to Athena2's topic in General Nursing

    yooper13 replied to Geo71oh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
