4. New vs used books vs renting

   fctxs replied to Kimynurse's topic in General Students

   I do new books. Do not rent because you will go back and reference your nursing books from one semester to the next. I like to make my own notes in my books. Used books are sometimes missing valuable pages or written in heavily to where it is hard to...

    I don't see what you are complaining about either. My instructor walks us through step by step also. You have to remember you are practicing under her license. If something goes wrong the instructor can loose her nursing license and the school can lo...
