Which books to keep?

Published

Hi everyone,

I'm moving to smaller house and it's better to take less stuff with me.

I'm wondering which of my books and notes should I keep for nursing school? (except for A&P book and notes of course)

Gen Bio?

Micro?

Micro lab?

Nutrition?

Developmental psychology?

None :roflmao: But really, the only one that may be useful is the microbiology textbook. Maybe. It would probably be worthwhile to sell them and make some money from them instead.

Specializes in Neuro.

Pathophysiology book, will need to do careplans, A&P doesn't hurt but haven't referenced it a year in. Patho I've used every semester.

Patophysiology? I didn't take such a course is it the same as Psysiology that comes with Anatomy?

Some schools have it as a co-requisite, my school happened to have it as a pre-req so perhaps why you haven't heard about it? Or maybe your school doesn't require it which would be unusual but probably not unheard of. It's different from physiology, physiology is the study of (usually normal) functions of the body and it's parts, whereas pathophysiology is the study of the disease processes and how it disrupts normal body physiology.

When you do careplans in nursing school, usually you have to explain the pathophysiology of the disease/problem your patient has. Basically you have to explain the disease and it's process. And the patho book is helpful. You can always google the disease of course to get the patho, but our school makes us cite a hard patho book, so in my case keeping the patho book to reference has been helpful. Your school may do things different.

Personally, I wouldn't keep the microbiology textbook. I'm only keeping my A&P book because its my school-specific edition and nobody will buy it from me. It may come in handy, but I'm not sure.

I checked my school program

Pathophysiology will be taken during the nursing program.

I start the program on spring semester

Thank you :)
