For the first semester, I am taking Informatics, Pathophysiology, Clinical Assessment, and Preparation for Clinical Practice. I'm a little tight on money, so I was hoping if you had any advice on whether on suggesting to purchase or rent. The majority of nursing students advised me to purchase my med-surg textbook brand new. What about Pathophysiology, Informatics, or Patient Assessment textbooks? Would they be okay to rent out or would I need those txts later on down the road? I just purchased calculations of drug dosages, and foundations of nursing.
