SUNY-Downstate summer '09--Introduce yourselves please!

Published

From the pre-nursing board there were a number of us waiting to hear from Downstate, and by now quite a few have been accepted!

So please, introduce yourselves here in the Nursing Student forum, and let's continue the discussion as we prepare to start classes in 3 months.

Where are you holding so far? Medical clearance, CPR, supplies, figuring out your finances and schedules for the next year... let's discuss!

Has anyone found out what's in the Basic Health Tote? Just talked to the bookstore and they had no clue. I'm all about saving money so If I know what's in it maybe I can find it elswhere cheaper. Thanks,

I have no idea, but someone wrote earlier in the thread that they didn't really use it.

Maybe wait until class starts and then you can see what's in it that you need.

I already ordered mine... I didn't bother to shop around. At least I got good deals on books.

Does anyone have a clue on the edition and year of the Health Assessment textbook we are suppose to buy? l saw the textbook with both 3rd edition (2007) and 3rd edition (2006).

I have mine already and it's 3rd edition, 2007.

Where did you buy it from and if you do not mind how much did you pay for it? l want to buy the textbook but wanted to be sure that l am getting a good deal before paying.

I bought all my books from abebooks.com. If I felt comfortable going with an older edition, I got them for REALLY cheap, like $5 or less per book. The Health Assessment textbook I bought the latest edition and paid $28.55 plus $3 shipping.

i have gone through the website recently but could not see such a reasonable price on the 3rd edition, 2007. the third edition, 2007 l saw was $59.82, and 3rd edition, 2006 was $15. please, can you check for me?

Ok, here is the list of books. I didn't copy the entire titles with edition and publishe but I did copy the title and ISBN #'s. If you go online just type the isbn # on the amazon search box or ebay/half.com, etc....

- Health Assessment in Nursing, 9780781762403

.

Chadalex, I just put in the ISBN number from FML's list. I wouldn't stress over whether the publication date is 2006 or 2007--the cover is the same in both cases. The inside cover of my text puts the date as 2007, regardless of how it was described on abebooks.

If you don't care about new unused books, you could try ebay or half.com. As Chaya said, it is easier to find the books using the ISBN #'s. I got all my books from amazon. You could also find more sellers by entering the ISBN # in the google search box.

yes, on saturday l bought some of the books from half.com and amazon.com. about 3 weeks ago, there were some good deals on abebooks.com but now, it seems all is gone. therefore, l am still searching for reasonable prices on some of the textbooks i.e. community health nursing, nurse as educator and pharm.

i will try using google search box, l think it is a good idea.

double check to make sure that all the textbooks on the list are for our summer session. some are for the second year students. i ordered a few not realizing that they weren't for our courses. i hope that next year they'll be using the same books.... community health definitely is for second year. i bought some nursing management textbooks which i don't think are for this summer.

chayan, you are right. i remembered one student in accelerated program mentioned that we are going to use one of the textbooks for three classes, so it is important to buy the book. however, l cannot remember the exact textbook she was referring and cannot get her on the phone to explain it more.
