Should I keep my A&P textbooks for nursing school?


Hi Nurses and current Nursing students!

Would you recommend that I keep my Anatomy and Physiology book for future reference ? I currently use Elaine Marieb's Human Anatomy and Physiology, 8th Edition.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

YES !!! Im only 7 weeks into NS and I have had to pick it up 3-4 times so far. Im glad I still have it.
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

I have a different book, but I've used my physiology book one or two time since starting school (I'm in my first semester). It's nice to have another resource if your patho/whatever book isn't making sense.

Yes- keep it. You never know when you are going to need a quick brush up on something, plus, you might be able to use it as a source for rationales when you start writing care plans...

Yes, you should keep it. In order to survive med/surgl-lll you have to know your anatomy and physiology well.

I kept mine because some one on here suggested it; but honestly, I don't think I looked at my anatomy or physio book once the entire time I was in nursing school. It was nice knowing they were there if I needed them, but you really should know all that stuff pretty well once you start nursing school. I would keep them though, you will appreciate having them available. Its like the taking an umbrella so it does not rain theory...

I have mine just because I have had it since HS. I let more people borrow it then I actually use it.

Lucky me. My teacher wrote hers for A&P 1 and 2. Cost a total of $15 for both classes books.
