Finished ADN. What textbooks to keep for BSN program

[Gentleman_nurse, MSN]

I just graduated with an Associates degree in Nursing and passed NCLEX. I wanted to donate my books over to a friend who is starting a RN program. My books are typical stuff Med/Surg, Peds, Psych, Fundamentals, Pharm, Care plan books, and of course NCLEX. I imagine the NCLEX books can go. Are there any I should save for continuing into a RN-BSN program?

I didn't use any of my RN books in my BSN program. If you have an APA style guide I would hang onto that. You won't be doing care plans or revisiting med- surf so those books won't be necessary. My RN-BSN classes focused on research, community health, minority populations, etc. Mainly paper writing, no exams

Thanks for responding. Glad to hear it. I figured if I needed to refer back to the information I could purchase a professional RN guide or visit the library but I wanted a second opinion. Off they go!

What about keeping your physiology, pharm, and pathophys? Passing NCLEX isn't the be-all end-all for studying those. :)

Too late! I gave them away. I understand that nurses must continue to learn, but I decided these resources will be far more useful to another ADN student than to me at this point. If necessary, my neighborhood library has an excellent nursing book collection. I did keep my drug book and pocket textbook.
