The problem I have found is that the bookstore says to wait just a little more because the teachers have a tendency to change their book orders right before class starts.
Has this happened to anyone? I just don't want to lose money on a book I don't need. I do however plan to buy them at the very latest the week before classes begin.
This is going to be my first semester of nursing school also. I decided to start purchasing my books the minute I bought my syllabus. I have 12 required texts and 4 textbooks that will help me out....at least I think they will. And everyone is right, I have quite a few reading assignments that we have to have read before we even step into the classroom.

Hey everyone,When are you going to buy your books for school? We can get a booklist from the school right now. But, since we don't have orientation until the Friday before classes starts I'm not sure whether we will need them right away or not.
Can anyone share their experiences from their first year of Nursing School?
Buy now or wait?
Thanks!!:imbar
The first semester I bought my books in the begining of August (class started at the end) and I got home opened all of them and just sat in the floor with over 600 dollars of books all around me and FREAKED!!!! but now they are like old friends (or sometimes enemies haha). Just wanted to say about the optional books ask you instructors or search the sylibi to see how much you are going to use before you buy. I have 2 books that we used (was told to read a small section 2-3 paragraphs) ONE time and the material was covered in her lecture. These two books were a total of 85 bucks and I sure could use that money now!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck to all of you starting and Best advise I can give is do the reading and don't get behinde in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
