my daughter's books for nursing school are very expensive as well
her prof. told her which edition her books had to be. My guess is in the field of medicine, things change constantly.
I was lucky enough to find one at Amazon.com at a significant discount
she also shares books if a friend of hers has the same class at a different time
she said there is also a board at school where students post their books for sale and they sell immediately
books are so expensive, but when she starts getting her paychecks from the hospital, it will all be worth it

That is what my daughter is taking as well. She just called home, apparantly they have told them they now have to go to school for May and June as well to take English and 2 electives! That is two more months rent plus extra tuition we didn't know about! She was not thrilled as she was hoping to get a job to help keep her debt down. This past summer she had knee surgery and was unable to work. I was also told by a friend who is an RN that they should buy some of their books new as they will use them til they graduate and then some!

there is one certain book that Blaine wants and there is also a program you can buy for a PDA as well.
I can't remember the name of it, but it's one that I will find out and let you know.
It's what I want to get her for Christmas...I do remember it's $149 for the program for the PDA

I always go on Amazon and try to get the teachers version of the book. For some reason they tend to be a lot cheaper (and they actually "teach:" the subject as well)
