What should I do with these??

Published

Has anyone gotten rid of their ATI books after graduation and NCLEX? My school told us that we could sell them to anyone else (which makes sense), but I really don't see the need for them anymore, should I just trash them?

Thanks!

Specializes in new to NICU.

I gave away about $1000 worth of nursing texts and review books to a new RN student. Don't know what she did with them and don't care. I hope they helped her.

Donate them to a library or another nursing student at your school. Even dated material is useful.

Specializes in Psych ICU, addictions.

I kept all my textbooks and review stuff...which has been a godsend for the BSN bridge program that I'm currently in--I don't need to go to a library for additional resources :)

If you don't plan to keep your materials, IMO donate them to your local library. Even though they won't be current in a few years, they'll still get a lot of use by a lot of people.

If I didnt worry about what it would do to the environment I would be having a bonfire at the beach with mine.
