    commonsense replied to jamieb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Pick up a copy of the NCLEX review, the Saunders one is the one I like to use, very straight to the point and understanding. The Kama Sutra comes in handy as well, pick up a copy to review the skills...

    commonsense replied to ougreene's topic in General Nursing
