Reddit mentions of Illustrated Study Guide for the NCLEX-RN® Exam

I used this Mosby's Illustrated Study Guide! It's great. I love the format. Easy and simple. Concise. Only about 600 pages and it comes with a CD with a couple thousand NCLEX questions. I graduated with my BSN, then took about 2 months off for summer travels and fun and to take a much needed break from nursing school things. When I got home. I used this book and this book only. I studied it for about 5 weeks and did the questions on the CD that pertained to each chapter I was studying. It really helped and I passed NCLEX after 75 questions. My roommate is also a nurse and a friend I knew from Nursing school. He used that huge ass Saunders book and a few other books and he failed NCLEX the first time. I think he tried to memorize too much info and got overwhelmed with juggling all those study guides. I recommend sticking with one book and knowing it inside and out. I suggested the Mosby's Study Guide to one of the PCTs at my hospital who had just graduated with her BSN. She used it and passed as well. She said the newer edition didn't come with the CD though, it had a link to access the questions online. I guess it's all the same, so long as you do the questions in tandem with the book.
