I have purchased all but 1 of my textbooks for this year.
13 for Nursing, and, 2 for my computer class.
I was able to buy this monster of a textbook. online for only $66. instead of the $136 it was suppose to cost. Look how thick that book is....
Then went and bought the other 12 at the bookstore for $643.
Then went back to the bkst. to buy the "bundle" for computer $40
thinking that I could find the other computer book online for less than the bkst price of $105. So I guess I will go back to the bookstore and spend another $100.
Here is what $643 will get you
(thank goodness for updated, higher limit credit card that came in the mail Friday!)The other good news is that these nursing books will last me the next 2 years, and I should only have to buy 1 or 2 each semester! So the price is not that bad when you break it up into 4 semesters! The other good news is I do not have to pay tuition due to a scholarship! That helps to afford these books! I also spent some money on some other Nursing student "help" books! I keep one in the car so I alsways have something "nursing" to read!
I also received these in the mail
What a fun day I had going through all my stuff!
I am definitely intimidated by the amount of info in all of these books!
But I am positive that I will pass and retain all that I need to, to become the best nurse I can be!
Only 5 more days!!!!!! I better get to reading!
