How much did you end up paying for all of the required books ? I was thinking about getting mines today so I can get started on some of the readings !

I havent bought my books yet, but I need to soon because I want to get started on the readings as well. I know they are probably cheaper online, but I think Im going to have to buy everything at the bookstore so I can use my bookstore credit because I cant afford to buy all those books out of pocket. lol. Has anyone bought the books from the bookstore?

I bought mine through B&N and more or less paid full price. It looks like we won't be using the Med-Surg book for at least the first 5 weeks, in case you want to spread it out. I bought my books in bits.

Lol my dad went on a rant about how the textbook publishers are "thieves" (he's a nurse). He says they change a couple things every year so we can't buy used and have to keep buying the newest edition. He's probably right.

Around $450.

I paid roughly $450 as well. Amazon has free shipping on school textbooks and usually they ship in a few days. I did the same as you Shahoo05.. bought one or two at a time.

I bought mine all new because I thought we may need the codes and we actually don't need them. I also heard that main campus does not have any books used so if you can get them used through Amazon and save yourself a few dollars I would suggest it. Also I was told we are using these same books for the entire duration of our Nursing school experience so you won't be buying any additional books for nursing after this so do not rent them! :)

Have any of you started the reading yet? It looks like the list they originally put up on the group site changed and all the readings from the Potter and Perry text were removed for the first week. On one hand I'm not complaining, because that's a huge chunk of reading that's been eliminated and the page numbers weren't lining up with the assigned chapters. On the other hand I don't want to not do it and be under-prepared come that first Thursday.

I'm going to try and e-mail someone at the school tomorrow, but maybe one of you know what the deal is.

I just got on this site to ask if anyone else noticed the page numbers were off. Was worried I had the wrong edition.

I spent the past few days reading Potter/Perry! They totally removed all the readings I just did. :banghead:

WTH is wrong with them. Thankfully I read the nursing assessment book first and was going to read the potter and perry today. But why do they do this to us? Why give us the reading early and then change it. Gotta love CCP. I highly doubt the readings have been totally removed. They are probably going to submit another copy with the correct page numbers the day class starts and then no one would of had the chance to get ahead start...lol
