My stack of books was taller in RN school than in NP school

[chillnurse]

I have been pondering this question for around 2 years now. I still have been unable to provide myself with a reasonable answer to this question. My stack of books was probably about 1 foot taller in undergraduate. This is an anomoly of the universe. I really am having much trouble exploring this question. The only two reasons I can come up with is 1. money for the book making companies. 2. Overkill regarding the amount of materials they expected us to read (I never used anything except my medsurg, peds, ob book). This question is probably on par with the meaning of life question that has been in contemplation for many thousands of years...

Can somebody please help me?

Mine was, too.

My graduate program was a CNS program, not NP, but we had almost no textbooks; the reading material was primarily journal articles or specific book chapters we could get from the library. The dearth of textbooks was no indication of the quality or rigor of the program, however.

And I had plenty of other things to spend my time on in graduate school; it never occurred to me to wonder about the larger ramifications of the difference between the number of textbooks in the my pre-licensure nursing program and in my graduate program.

Oops, a word got lost in there, I meant to say that I almost snorted chips out my nose. And yes Grntea, I know that old people have sex too, and don't doubt abilities or quality.

What I was snorting food out out my nose over was the idea that an older respected nurse would be doing something as trashy as twerking.

You are forgiven. :) I thought it was pretty funny too.
