question to current nurses

Hi there, new nurse student here about to start nursing school. I am very well aware of the different type of thinking that goes with nursing school (critical thinking not memorization.) I read awhile back on these forums people suggesting a book that really helped them get their minds to start critically thinking and looking at questions NCLEX style. I cant remember what book it was so im here asking for suggestions of any nurse who used such a book. What book helped your mind critically think?

Thanks :)

    "Fundamentals Success: A Course Review Applying Critical Thinking to Test Taking" by Patricia Nugent & Barbara Vitale.

    Gives a lot of multiple-choice questions along with rationales for how to pick correct answers.

    NANDA-I 2012-2014, $29 bucks at Amazon or $25 for your Kindle and it will help you with everything you'll do in nursing school, especially the "think like a nurse" problem that is so rampant. THE reference for care planning...which is a result of critical thinking about the nursing process...and there you go, way ahead of your classmates before you even start.

    The name of the book is Critical Thinking and Nursing Judgement...you can find it on Amazon, when you go and buy that NANDA book. ;)

    I was introduced to this book many moons ago by one of my professors in my PN program...still use this book even though I have been a nurse for 8 years, including 1 year as an RN...my most recommended book on AN to nursing students, and new nurses. :)

    Is it Critical Thinking and Clinical Judgment? I tried to find it on Amazon but I can't find one titled Critical Thinking and Nursing Judgment. Do you know who the author is?
