Glendale CC book list for first block

Published

I was looking at the books for NUR151 and was confused. Do you buy both the e-package and 9 other books or either/or? Buying both means a book cost of over $1200!! And that is not including the lab kit, scrubs, shoes, etc. Can anyone clarify this for me?

new books will come with an access code to download the ebook. it's up to you if you prefer an actual book, or don't mind reading off the computer so only purchase the ebooks. keep in mind you will spend 99% of your life reading in nursing school, and if you only have ebooks you will have to carry a laptop around (which is lighter than a huge book, but also a greater financial hit if it gets stolen).

The easiest thing to do would be to buy the books listed in the syllabus. There is a book bundle that includes all the books and access codes fr the online courses. I am at CGCC right now, I did not buy any book from our bookstore. You do NOT have to buy new to have access codes. Access codes are only for the online courses. Now there are a few books that you can buy new that have a scratch off think lottery ticket where you can get online access to use on smart phone. If you can buy used do it. Just make sure course access codes are new. I bought new text books like fundamentals but did not het online access. If you want online and hatd copy you will pay for both separately.
