Mohawk - McMaster RPNs - textbook requirement help

[flos]

Hello all,

We all know textbooks tend to be very very expensive, and I also know that some of you have experience with the RPN program in Hamilton and might be able to help me.

Which first semester books are absolutely required and maybe most importantly, can I go with an older cheaper edition for the books posted?

So far I think I will have to buy:

Canadian Fundamentals of Nursing 5e

Canadian Physical Examination and Health Assessment 1e

Interpersonal Relationships 7e

Mosby's Guide to Nursing Diagnosis 4e

Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology 1e

Medical-Surgical Nuring in Canda 2e

Nurses' Handbook of Health Assessment 6e

If you can help me narrow this list down I would greatly appreciate it, and pay it forward.

Thank you so much for your time!

I didn't go to Mohawk, but most of those books are pretty important. You can probably get along fine without interpersonal relationships.
