Hi everyone,

We used them all. You can rent or get used, which helps a lot!

The calculations book is used throughout the program, but primarily the first semester. There is a math test at the end of the first semester and then each course with a clinical component has a math exam on the second day of class. The types of calculations vary depending on the subject matter (pedi calculations, etc.). You need to be able to teach yourself math by reading the book but there is tutoring available. They do not cover math in class.

Yes, you do use most of the books, but many of the books they have you get for the first semester are used throughout the program. The booklist is longer for the first semester and then for later semesters it becomes much more manageable. For my last semester, I only spent about $45 on books (I graduate this December). They also do change the booklist from time to time, so I would refer to a current booklist.
