I hear ya`

My part of my kid`s laptop for college was $350 (split between me, his mom and her mother), not to mention my share of his books, dorm deposit, etc....and he has a pretty good scholarship!

Have you considered buying books from half.com?

**Corey Bit Spank** · 08-24-2005, 09:56 PM

No, because I never know what books I need until I walk into the bookstore

I feel your pain. Graduated 10 yrs later, I am still paying my college loan. Almost done.

Yikes, I don`t think I`ve ever spent that much on books at once! But, I know that feeling, I just paid off all the books I charged last year and I start school again on Sept. 29th.

My wife is a pharmacist and we had several semesters where the books were $7-800. I had a few semesters where the books were over $500 when I was getting my Master`s.

I see a couple of `clothing` items in there.

Do they make you dress for the class as well? :LOLOL

I`m guessing the clothing items are the scrubs at right in the picture.

Ok, my bad, didn`t scroll to the right.

What`s really sad is the $3 you get when you sell em back. Has to be the worst scam ever.

They update these books every year so there won`t be any buy-back.

And those are scrubs. Oh the joys of elastic waist pants.

Boy I remeber those days.....my wife finished nursing school about 18 months ago.

Is your program 2 or 4 years? Do you need a four year degree to practice nursing there? Man, the schooling seemed tough to me, it`s no cakewalk. Good luck!!!
