Renting books?????

[Peeker19]

I was wondering if anyone still uses their textbooks after they graduate? I am thinking about renting my books online this semester but I am hesitant because I feel like if I do not have them down the road then I will for sure need them. What do you think is renting a good idea? I was thinking about renting my psych book and the med/surg II book. I know you all are so wonderful thanks for replying!!!!!

Rent them. The only one I might buy would be med-surg. When I started my first job, I had some "homework" that I needed it for. None of the others have been cracked since graduation. I wish I had done something productive with them before they were all out of date. You might need a drug book on the floor during clinicals. I suggest going to a regular book store and looking through the various editions. Pick the one that you like, not necessarily the one the school recommends. However, I haven't used my drug book at work, either. On the floor, we look everything up on the internet in just a few seconds. I like having the drug book at home, though, to look up medications for myself or my family.
