Suggestions for Med-Surg and Pharm?

If you have ATI there's a lot of sections on there for pharm and med/surg that are helpful. You can go to quia.com and search for quizzes from other instructors for practice and a drug guide book would only be helpful for referring to specific drugs as to what classes they belong to for pharm or common ones used in med/surg. If you find yourself struggling the companion CDs are very very helpful. The drug guide book that was required for my class that I use is http://www.amazon.com/Nursing2012-Handbook-Online-Toolkit-Nursing/dp/1609136195/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1323025201&sr=1-1 if you aren't required to get one and all the hospitals here use the same one also.

I have the same Pharm book, and I think the same med surge book! This is the drug we get in our bundle http://www.amazon.com/Nursing-Reference-SKIDMORE-NURSING-REFERENCE/dp/0323069177/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1323025817&sr=1-3-fkmr1 and comes in very handy!

I use those books, too, but for test prep, you can't beat the NCLEX books. Saunders is great and so are the Test Success Series. Also, do you use the Evolve website? They have really good practice tests for each chapter in your textbook.
