GOOGLE plus YOUTUBE is all you need and all that fits in a 8 oz cellphone! i google what we are talking about during lectures and get great animations and illustrations... dont have to study much for tests because I actually understand how it all works, not just memorizing for a test!

I kept all of my science books. Believe it or not, I've looked stuff up in math and chemistry books as well as the others!

I have Salinger's and I don't think I'll ever get rid of it.

I didn't think I'd use it much in school, but I actually needed it quite a bit as for many med/surg rotations I was on an ortho floor and our med/surg book didn't explain psysiology too well esp for anything r/t bones or muscles and we had to write in depth pathos for some instructors and the A & P book was great.

Keep it!

I have kept my A&P books, but to be honest I have not opened it once during NS, and I am in the 3rd semester now. I find that nursing exams focus more on patho and nursing interventions than A&P.

I still have many of my old nursing texts from the '70's, including my old A&P book. It came in handy when I tore my right rotator cuff. While my ortho explained it, the book showed the site and explained it another way.

Funny thing is I have the same book as you. I used to think it was heavy and complained carrying it to class.
I put it on the shelf at home last Spring when A&P was over, havent looked at it till 2 weeks ago, when I picked it up off the shelf it felt like a feather compared to some of my nursing books

LOL! Thank you so much for your advice.
