Prerequisite Textbooks (like micro, anatomy, etc)--Keep them?

Published

Hey everyone,

I am hoping to be in nursing school soon, but I have a few more prerequisites to take. My question for you guys is if you ever really need your prerequisite books for anything while in nursing school? I kept my anatomy book because I thought that would be helpful maybe but in your opinion is it worth it to keep the physiology, nutrition, or microbiology textbooks? I'm trying to decide whether I should rent them or buy them for this semester..

Thanks!

All of the texts you listed I would keep. But English Lit or American Government, I would get rid of.

I agree that you should keep the science based books. Sometimes nursing textbooks do not explain things in an easy manner and your previous texts could help with that.

My pharmacology and holistics instructor, who are also instructors for the nursing program, recommended we keep our science books. So it's probably a good idea to keep them around at least until your done with school.

Yes. They are great reference materials for questions you cant remember to answer.. I have all of mine and I am actually teaching Anatomy Lab to students this semester along with Nursing School.... :)
