Be Creative In Order To Get Nursing Books For Less Money
Nursing books can be steep. If you are an average student, then paying $100+ per textbook can be difficult. Take a look at the following suggestions for purchasing your nursing books for less.
Don’t Purchase Books Too Early
Even though you might be tempted, it is never a good idea to purchase your nursing books too early, regardless of the class subject. It’s much wiser to wait until you have access to the class syllabus or can personally check with the instructor to make sure that there have not been any last-minute changes. textbooks can typically be exchanged, if necessary. However, it is much simpler to purchase the correct book the first time around.
Purchase Books From The Internet
There are sites on the internet that not only sell new and used nursing textbooks, but some also rent them. Look at sites like Barnes & Noble, Chegg and Amazon. If you can, use the ISBN when looking for your books to be sure you get the correct edition.
Read any disclosures if you are buying used textbooks to see if it’s missing software, or if it was marked up by the owner before you, to see if it will be acceptable to you.
Post a “Want List”
Posting your “want list” on school bulletin boards or on sites such as Craigslist is another way to obtain the nursing textbooks that you need and possibly save money in the process. More and more people are using sites such as Craigslist to sell things because there is no charge to do so for most item categories.
You also have the alternative of placing a small ad in your local newspaper or putting up “wanted” posters in your local convenience store, with manager permission. You never know who might have the book that you are searching for.
Consider Trading Goods Or Services
Trading for textbooks is done all the time. Say you have a small appliance, or have certain skills someone else can make use of, you could get your textbook or books cheaper that way.
There is nothing wrong with organizing a friends’ closets, doing their taxes or any number of other things in exchange for good used nursing textbooks.
