Q. Are there any NCLEX-RN test preparation books that I can actually check out? Most of them seem to be on reserve.

There are some circulating copies of the NCLEX-RN test preparation books.  You will need to conduct a keyword search for "NCLEX-RN" in the library catalog. Carefully reading the location information in the search results is essential; some titles have a copy available for checkout as well as a copy on reserve. Pay particular attention to "Location: Click for Details."

Alternatively, you can practice with the online test preparation materials available through LearningExpress PrepSTEP, found in the A - Z Database List. Oakton username and password required.

By the way -- don't completely rule out using the test preparation guides on reserve at the DP & Skokie/RHC libraries.  Since they cannot be removed from the library, they are almost always available!
