I get mine at Half.com, a subsidiary of Ebay. At half, there is a wide variety of prices for any given textbook, based on its condition, which can range from brand new to a missing back cover. There is no waiting for an auction to time out, and the shipping is just $3.99 no mattter who you buy from. I turn around and sell my books at half.com as well.

I will be starting Intro-Chem 1/19/08, and will be looking forward to visiting this thread often, for help, or to offer help. Rob

Thanks TopCat, I will check for that information.

After reading this thread I am now interested in taking your route instead of waiting for a seat in the RN program. When I refered to my JC class catalog, I see that they offer LVN Career Mobility (for LVNs only) and LVN (30 Unit Option). I obviously cannot take the Mobility class as I am currently only at the General Ed/Requirements stage of my education. Would the 30 Unit Option course be the one everyone is talking about here? I find it odd that my JC offers a straightforward RN program, but their LVN programs seem somewhat convoluted. Thanks, Rob

Great information - Thanks for the extra tips and reassurance. Rob

Thank you for the great tips. I will certainly follow your advice. One habit I think I need to change is my concern for preserving the condition of my text book in order to increase my return margin. There are so many times I want to highlight something and find myself more concerned about the return of the book-- Kind of dumb when you think about it. Thanks again

I am in my first semester for a nursing major. I am quickly becoming discouraged for my lack of ability to retain things I learn. My experience has been that if I am really interested in a topic I can retain details I learn about it. I can be reading a chapter with great enthusiam, but a week later I forget most of the terms and definitions, and its almost as if I had never read it at all. I am going to finish this semester with a 4.0, but I feel like I am working way harder than others in order to compensate for my memory and/or learning impairment. I realize memory declines with age, as I am 43 years old, but this is ridiculous. I wonder if I am just a victim from growing up in the lead-based-paint era.
