I sold my A&P and Chemistry texts for decent money and went and bought A&P and chemistry texts at a used bookstore.

Because I am anal I kept both my anatomy and physiology books, my pathophysiology book, both my med-surg books and my drug book. That being said I have not opened one since I got hired!

The only one I considered keeping was my A&P book. I got $90 bucks for it at the bookstore buyback, went on eBay and bought a ten year old version for $4.85 (including shipping). A&P hasn't changed much in ten years, so I still have a book for reference when I need it.

so far ive sold all my textbooks except, my pathobook, mosbys dictionary & my a&p book from 100 years ago. I may hold on to my med/surg book simply bc its nursing in a nutshell. & will look cool on my book shelf hehe. my drug guide i have on my phone as an app & its always updated so dont need a book for that.
