Reddit reviews Communication in Nursing

Almost all our textbooks this year are required new editions. We can’t buy used ones - this is because the medicine behind Nursing practise is constantly changing.

Currently I’m at $1,052.86 for textbooks (plus a bit extra since two of my sources were in USD) and $1,208.86 for supplies. That’s just for this semester - there’s more for next semester. I’m pretty sure I’m not grossly overestimating considering I know how much I’ve already spent on my books.
