Hey there. I'm a graduate of Pitt's BSN program. Just a tip; you really don't need almost any of the books which are advertised. In my opinion, the only ones worth getting will be your anatomy textbook, the chem workbook, and the critical care textbook which should be much later on in the program. I would also get Saunder's NCLEX review book and review relevant info for each exam. Nursing exams take some getting used to, and the Saunder's book will accelerate that. Eventually if you're looking for something more advanced, PASS! CCRN is one of the best critical care references money can buy

I honestly just studied straight from the slides and referenced wikipedia for things which I didn't understand. Medicine on wikipedia is pretty high quality. I still do the same thing in the Anesthesia program. There's also tons of books on HSLS and you can find pretty much everything on there. Save your money for food and beer :)

Buy the Saunders book. I loved it. Was great for studying not just NCLEX questions but good review of what is important in every disease. It really helped me when I felt like I had way too much info. I would review the Saunders based on my power points and pretty much ignored the actual book.

I hate that fellow nursing students are catty instead of working as a team. One day they might find themselves on the same team or at the same hospital as those that they trampled over in school.

​

This is my study routine.

Once our powerpoints are posted, I make an outline that I print off. In class, I take notes. After class, I take the lecture notes and rewrite them on the outline that I printed. I star/highlight things that the professor stressed. The outline helps me visualize what content areas have the most info (more info = most likely on exam). I will go through and read the Saunders NCLEX book and the HESI review book. I will add any additional info to my outline to supplement the lecture notes. Then, I will make notecards online. I try to rewrite my notes and make note cards within 24 hours of the lecture. It seems to be more effective for me and is more manageable that way. It is easy to pull these up and "quiz" myself when I have small amounts of time. If I am still confused about a topic, I will look it up in the book that was assigned for the course. Other than that, I only use those books for clinical paperwork.

​

Once we have covered a topic or a few days before the exam, I will use the Saunders NCLEX book and the HESI review book in study mode and work on practice questions and READ THE RATIONALES. I bookmark questions that I get wrong and will review those again making sure I understand the rationale.

Not OP, but I just started Nursing school this week. Is this the book you're talking about? I'm interesting in buying it also

The book you linked is great. It is the one recommended by my instructor as well, as this one https://www.amazon.com/Saunders-Comprehensive-NCLEX-RN-Examination-Nclex-Rn/dp/0323358519/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1492486033&sr=8-1&keywords=saunders+nclex+review+2017. The book you linked is smaller and more direct and has "hesi hints" which are very helpful. The book I linked has questions at the end of every section but the hesi book you linked does not. Both books have online sections as well on the Evolve website. The book I linked is much more detailed and comprehensive for its online portion; literally thousands of questions. The best bang for your buck is probably the one I linked but if you can afford it, buy both. On my mid-year med/surg HESI exam I scored a 955 and I actually just took my year end med/surg HESI exam today and did very well with a score of 1115. I studied for both using mostly the book I linked. I guarantee you will pass your exam if you spend sufficient time in either of these books.

I got a Saunders NCLEX Review Book that I think is very easy to read and covers the most important topics as well. It also comes with online Evolve resources which is cool!

Also OP, I just want to emphasize what u/nursingthr0w said and READ THE RATIONALES!!! I used to try to power through practice questions by skipping the rationales and then would kick myself because I would still get many questions wrong! Don’t waste your time like I did!

Saunders Comprehensive NCLEX Review. This book only provides basic information about each topic without going too much in depth, so it's kind of more useful if you've already been introduced to the content in lecture. If you buy the book new it comes with an online database of practice questions and rationales which are EXTREMELY helpful. It might be difficult to study before going to school because you don't know what you have to study and you haven't been introduced to nursing school style questions, but this book is really helpful once you're in school and I should provide you the organization that you want.
