There is a book called Fundamentals Success... Buy it!! It's full of fundamentals questions with rationales. My grades dramatically improved after I got this book. The hardest part of nursing school is learning how to think like a nurse, not just remembering the course material, and this book helped me learn how to answer questions.

I like e Review and Rationale series personally. It has a book for every subject. Each subject is broken down and has a ore and post test with answers that have rationales. They also have a FANTASTIC outline/summary (usually about 15 pages) for each chapter. I use these to study.

If I had a month until school started and I was to do it all over again, I would skim a book on how to study, read fundamentals reviews and rationales a couple of times, and really learn how to speed read or master read.

When I was in class I would use the erb book.

If I didn't understand something, I would go to youtube and watch that particular item. Now, the catch to it is if you study and you get confused, it will slow you down later, so be sure and understand what you are reading if you decide to do it.
