How much did your books cost your first sem. of nursing school?

$800 for my first semester books.

$75 for 2nd semester, and we will use some from first semester, thank goodness. :)

I can already tell that even those books I hate (nutrition, psycology) will come in handy down the line when it's time to write papers and such.

Around $500 first semester then spent an additional $100 this semester. We will use most of them throughout the program.

About $500 for first semester, then maybe $200 for the next. This semester we didn't get any new books, but the next two will both be about $200 for books...and there are additional uniform costs also.

A little over $800 for first semester

Approximately $600. If I would have purchased all used, I could have brought it down to around $450.

Second semester was around $300.

I've spent about $500 just for books. Would have been cheaper if I had gotten them online instead of from the campus bookstore. :rolleyes:
