Well look at it this way Bananimal, if you use the books all four semester then you might be better off buying some of the books anyways. I can see renting maybe the medical calculations text that was mentioned and any other book I thought I wouldn't really use past a semester, but I believe you'll be using the majority of what's on your book list so far.

I also have great news for those interested in renting books. Yes I said rent a book. A nurse at Baystate mentioned to me how she rents her books from www.chegg.com or www.bigwords.com. So I checked it out this evening and saw books that were $99.00 can be rented for 35.00 per semester. Books that sell for 45.00 rent for 9.99. I personally liked chegg b/c it seemed easier to navigate.
I think this would work for the fundamentals book - which you only use for the first semster mostly or the maternity book that you only use in semester two, but many of the books you use for the full 2 yrs and also serve as good reference..so I would say, just be careful it might cost you just as much to rent a book as it would to buy it (esp if they count the sumer and there are shipping fees).

If you don't want to buy the books, ALL of them are available through the STCC library. They can't be checked out, but you can read the chapters in the library, if you were to study there.

Yeah I also bought the 2 major books and I am studying the med cal book from my previous class (so glad I didn't give it away). In the mean time I will also be taking a couple of spanish classes just because.

The Dean of Health/Patient Simulation told some students today at CPR training that it is not uncommon for them to arrange real life "victims" to pass out in the middle of the hallway to see how we act and react to a seemingly real situation..? Have any of you that have just finished your first year heard of anything like that? Or experienced it?

Maybe in the school of health but not the school of nursing...although I have had classes in that building for the last 2 years and have never seen a sims patient on the floor or in the hall etc. We do have sims activities we do, when they code and we need to save them etc. but that is during class time. I don't think they would do that anyway, seems kind of weird, how would they know if the students in the halls were nursing students? There are cosmotology students, dental students, and gen ed students that all walk the same halls of that building...

That seems kind of strange. I don't think emergency responders would appreciate someone calling 911, not knowing it's a "training exercise," and like tero said, how would they know it was nursing students? If I walked in to class one day and a professor said "Quick, what would you do if someone passed out suddenly and wasn't breathing?", then that would make more sense.
