Get Creative In Order To Buy Your Nursing Books For Less Money


Nursing textbooks can be steep. If you are an average student, then paying $100+ per book can be difficult. Take a look at the following advice for purchasing your nursing books for less.

Don’t Get Books Too Early

Try to avoid the temptation to buy your books before you either talk to the class instructor, or have your syllabus in hand. If you get your nursing textbooks too early changes might be made to the course, and while most college bookstores will exchange for reasons such as this, itsjust easier to get the correct book first.

Get Books Online

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, Amazon.com and Chegg. If you can, use the ISBN when purchasing your books to be sure you get the correct edition.

If purchasing used, be sure to read any disclaimer to find out about software that should come with it, any marks and highlighting done by the previous textbook owner. In most cases as long as you can decipher the text, these shouldn’t be an issue.

Put Up A Want List

By posting a list of books you need either at your nursing school or on online classified ads, you can save a lot on your books. Free classified ads are every where on the internet, just do a search for them.

You can also place 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 a Trade of Either 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.

The same holds true for any service that you might be willing to offer. There is nothing wrong with organizing someone’s closets, doing their taxes or any number of other things in exchange for good used nursing textbooks.
