Definitely try amazon.com, they frequently have used books that are in good shape and very cheap.\nAlso, another thing you may want to look into is getting employed by Walgreen's. They will give you the books and the flashcards to study from. They also offer courses in the material and practice tests.\nFinally, they pay for your exam so you don't have to pay for registration. That and when you are done you also have a job. CVS and other chains may also offer this, but I haven't heard either way.

Skim your nursing textbooks, a little each day.  If there is something that you do not recall or are unclear about... reread it.\n\nHave a fellow nurse quiz you with medical scenarios.  \n\nMOST IMPORTANT:  take practice tests.  Questions are frequently re-used from year to year.  Practice tests frequently use these older questions... so taking practice tests will actually expose you to NCLEX questions you will be facing.\n\nGood Luck!  Try to relax, if you fail the first time... it really is no big deal.  There is no penalty (other than embarrassment) for failing the first time.

I searched last week for this exactly question. I spend few hours comparing books and I decided to order:\nhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201728281/qid=1148151332/sr=2-2/ref=sr_2_3_2/202-6632911-2431827\nIt has the best user feedback in amazon. And I agree, after reading few chapters I think it's an excellent choice to prepare you for the 1.4 cert.\ngood luck :)

I find the Longman books good, but you have to buy a lot of them--a book and then an answer book and then the CDs and then this and that--I inderstand it's even worse for the IBT than it was for previous TOEFL types. But they're very thorough and cover "life" as well as the TOEFL.\n\nFor the TOEFL alone, I recommend the Princeton Review book. You could combine that with a more general ESL book--I recommend The Advanced Grammar Book (sorry, don't have the authors' names), but judging by the errors in your question, it may be above your level. (THE best course/"for both life" could be better expressed/you TAKE a test rather than "get" one) Of course, it's just one question and doesn't really tell me much about your English proficiency.

I personally found Berne & Levy's 'Principles of Physiology' (3rd ed) to be the most straightforward and adequate book for precisely this subject (CV function). The book isn't too good (but not bad either) on most other subjects, but precisely the CVS chapter is very easy reading, well diagrammed, etc. (as compared to Guyton for example)

Check out websites of curriculum providers and look for Scope and Sequence charts to see what matches up for what you want to take.\nFor example, I'm using Lifepacs, Alpha Omega publishers. I have a particular sequence I want to follow for her four years of highschool, and I found that Lifepacs follows that sequence the closest.\nThe Scope and Sequence charts are really helpful for things like history, language arts, and elementary level sciences.\nAs for Alg 1 and 2, they are pretty basic, I recommend Saxon or Math U See depending on your choice of media.\nCost? Varies greatly. Lifepacs are $50 per course (average including tax, but not shipping) Saxon can run close to $70 or so and Math U See is top end around $100\nThere are less expensive programs out there, you just have to decide what you are looking for.\nBut check out curriculum providers, and look at their scope and sequence to get an idea of what matches your needs.\nthe best thing about homeschooling is you do not conform to what is offered. You find what meets your needs.

There are many fine books at the local library on the A+ certification course of study. This is probably the field you are looking to get into.

Can you be specific in what you're asking? If not, just grab any of the thousands of textbooks out there and read.\n\nWe don't have enough space here to cover it all.

I'd love to but there aren't a huge number of them that are legally available.  Also, not all students like them, especially those who want to carry a book around to study when they can.  I agree with you that textbooks are extremely expensive, as I am the aunt of two college students as well as a college instructor myself.\n\nI make an effort to choose the best balance between quality and affordability when assigning a textbook for a class.  I suggest you write a letter to the editor of your school's newspaper encouraging professors to think about this issue.

What do you want to know? If your getting ready to take your boards the best investment you can make is getting a Kaplan review book, it helps you understand the way that board exam questions are written.  You can study with this, and it will decrease the amount of time that you will need to prepare for the exam.  Remember, everything that you need to know to pass the exam, you have already learned in nursing school. Good Luck.

I would recommend going to Barnes & Nobles, or some other bookstore that also sells tutorial stuff. I am sure they have VB, just like they have Cisco training as well.

Another textbook question...

If you go to the CLEP website and look at the outlines for the test, they have recommended textbooks for study.  But for many of the tests, there are in-depth study courses at www.istudysmart.com.

You can go to barnes and noble, amazon, etc... and purchase a copy of the study guide that the ASCP BOR puts out.  It's about $50 - that's what I paid for mine.  My friend purchased her book online about a month ago and has not gotten it yet.  They said it was on back order.\n\nYou might try the bookstore of a college near you that has a med tech program and go that route.
