How much will books and supplies cost for Nursing School?

[bellabarbiegirl]

I am so excited for October 5th to find out if I got in one of the Maricopa Community College Nursing Programs! Good luck to everyone else who is waiting! I am trying to get an idea of how much everything will cost. On the website it says $900. for the estimated cost for books but that seems extremely low to me. I am curious what everyone else has spent and if they have any advice. THANK YOU!

Half.com is really great too. Check them out!! I have gotten several books there at awesome discounts. A little trick is to watch the prices, they get higher the closer you get to the beginning of the semester because people are buying them and there are fewer available. Try to get them at the end of the previous semester when there are a lot of people trying to get rid of theirs! Oops...I just told the world my trick

Best of luck in school!

Good information to know, I get most of my books from Amazon, so I will have to get a look out now for books!
