When I was taking pre-reqs I always sold those books back. Since entering the nursing program, I've kept all of the books for each semester. I'm now going into my 4th semester (out of 6) and have done just fine without the pre-req materials. I'm sure an anatomy book would be a good thing to have for a refresher, though.
I really thought that I would use my A& P texts, but the med surg books were so good at covering all that stuff that the A&P books were not needed. I'll keep my books until I am done with school, and then sell all but my reference books and med surg books. I imagine when working, I'll still want to come home and look up things to learn more.

What books did you keep from your pre req classes that have helped you while in nursing school? I have kept all my A&P books, microbiology books, medical terminology, bioethics,.....But what about other pre req books such as stats, lifespan development, nutrition, abnormal psych, etc.
