i didnt see the study guide in the bundle, or in the required list on the bookstore website. i only saw the clinical companion for the fundamentals text. i dont think we need the perry study guide.

If you click "get textbooks" it says fundamentals w/study guide. I mean, it can't hurt to have an extra study guide anyway.

I would think those are fine! You can barely even see the logo. My friend goes to central. She said they just care that they're all white so everyone looks the same.

Okay thank you. I might email my professor tomorrow just for further clarification.

FYI, I just purchased all the nursing books in the "bundle" list from north campus, NEW on amazon for $259. So saved about $100 from the bundle.

We need a lot of books. Barnes and Noble rents them for like $12 until late august.

the most ezpensive i've found is the lewis med-surg book, its arouns $80.0, and used to buy it, and around $30.00 rent

Has anyone spoken to a nursing student who has already been through both process i and ii?

I'd really like to know which books are worth buying (used/new) to keep throughout nursing school, which ones you'll only use for x amount of time where renting would be a better choice, and which ones will never be used.

I like to keep books which is why I tend to not rent and usually buy used, and only rent when the book being rented isn't at all going to be used later but is sort of needed now.

The $347 "bundle" which has the required books includes:

Perry - Clinical Nursing Skills and Techniques

Potter - Fundamentals of Nursing

Lewis - Medical Surgical Nursing Text

Pagana - Mosby Diagnostic & Lab Test Reference

Jarvis - Pocket Companion for Physical Examination and Health Assessment

Castilo - Strategies, Techniques, & Approaches to Critical Thinking

-----

I've heard that the only books we will actually need are Potter's Fundamentals, a workbook from Perry's Clinical, and Castillo's STAT.

I heard this in passing from a nursing student who's almost done with nursing school.

What have you guys heard?

Any nursing students who are way ahead of me mind lending a hand with which books will really be necessary?

i did buy the pagana, jarvis, cox,and perry books used. figured they would be a good reference throughout the whole program.

i might buy the lewis med-surg, i feel like it would ve a good reference period even after school.

the others, like the study guides, i plan to rent.

Help please lol.... I got the book list. However, I could've sworn there was a list of equipment ( stethoscope, light pen, cuff, etc...). If there is and I'm not going crazy here, could you guys help me find it on the website? :bookworm:
