Saunders book vs. Flash cards

[ashemson]

Does anyone know if the Saunders Q&A NCLEX book has the same questions as the flash cards? I have Saunders, Lippincott and Mosby book but wanted to get some flashcards because I can carry them around with me alot easier, but didn't know which flash cards were best, and also if the book questions were duplicating the flash cards??? If anyone knows of some different flash cards that you really liked please let me know!

Make your own flash cards,

Ummm...not sure what perfect world you are living in, but I have 19 class days of school left, 12 tests, and all of the studying that will be involved in that, not sure when anyone would have time to go back thru EVERYTHING and make flash cards. So does anyone else have any recommendations as to which flash cards are best?

I never said I live in a perfect world but many make their own flash cards. You never indicated how long you had left in school etc.I didn't bother with flash cards I just practised questions and read the rationale.

I just wanted some flashcards so that I could throw some in my purse and study at randoms times, and not have to carry a book around. I wish I had thought of flashcards back in August, because you are right, making my own would have been great, but never even thought of it. So I just thought I would ask which ones were preferred by some on this site.

i also have the same books that you have but have only used saunders so far 'cause i've heard a lot of people say that mosby's wasn't really a big help for the nclex. nhow, my friend has the saunders flash cards and she told me that they are different from the book and cd questions. i recommend on getting them. or you can try the examcram flashcards or book. the book's pretty small and you can carry it around. a lot of people told me that examcram is a great tool too. good luck!
