Book Shop Now Editor's Note
Fundamentals of Nursing by Carol Taylor is the most-assigned core textbook in US BSN programs and was awarded third place in the 2023 AJN Book of the Year Awards. The 10th edition matters specifically because it integrates the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model — meaning the case studies in this edition mirror what students will see on the Next Generation NCLEX. If you're starting a BSN program in Fall 2026, this is the book your school's syllabus almost certainly cites. Pair with the Lippincott Q&A Review as you approach NCLEX dedicated study.
