Amazon Student

AMAZON PRIME IS FREE THE FIRST YEAR WHEN SIGNED UP FOR AMAZON STUDENT!!!!

A quote from my classmate:
best part of amazon prime is you pay $40 bux for a year student subscription, and you can get a %$&*load of books and everything else in the world shipped FREE 2-day to you, or pay 3.99 and have it shipped overnight. 

Here's a link to the official bookstore:


You do not need a current edition of Lehne, Management or even Foundations (although it can be hard to follow if you don't- so just for the ease, I got the most up-to-date version). Another thing you can do is split the cost between you and someone taking the class in the opposite half of the semester. Get with a student from last semester. Check the bulletin boards for students selling books.
A up-to-date Med-Surg book is useful for AH1, in AH2, Mr. S. uses his slides and I barely consulted the textbook.
General consensus after polling my classmates is that the bookstore is way, way too expensive

If you can, get the electronic version. Those darn books are HEAVY. If not, buy a really good wheeled backpack.

I have exactly two texts left on my shelf- Lehne and Med-Surg.
