I had a list like that my first semester too! I bought all of my books online and saved $450 compared to what I would have spent at the bookstore. Luckily, those are all the nursing books I'll need for the whole program. If your school is anything like mine, you'll use a few of the books on a daily basis, and just when you think you wasted your money on the other books, or that maybe you could've done without a few, one of your instructors will throw in a mandatory reading on a topic that's impossible to find in your other books!!! I'd just buy all the books and get it over with!!
