Random question... Did anyone find any of their undergrad nursing books helpful at all during their MSN program? I have kept all my books...but not wanting to pack and move them all. Will I regret getting rid of them all?

Did not use at all.

I have not used any undergrad books in grad school.... For that matter, I often don't use much of the grad school text either. I have used google, youtube, uptodate, epocrates, medscape, and many other online resources when I need information. It's much easier to type in what your after, read pertinent information and skip the fluff in many cases. Much of what is in your undergrad (and graduate) texts is also available online, you just have to be careful that you are getting accurate information from reliable sources.

As for a reference for papers, then I tend to use papers from the online library search my university provides or the text as a last resort. I will often look up the subject in an easier tool (uptodate, google scholar, etc.) then when I find what I want, search for the source article specifically, that is much easier and faster than doing massive searches in medline. lol
