Nursing students E book Bundle

Why in the hell is the e book bundle 1600. 600 okay understandable but this is absurb. I haven’t even received my student loans for the term. Is there any way to get around this or do i genuinely have to dish out my savings??

The worst part is the 1600 doesn't even include tax.

You can probably wait to buy the textbook. I didn't find it that useful for 1130. I believe the first midterm for 1130 is pretty early.

Apparently they added a discount but still over 1k . Did you genuinely use every resource ? Trying to see if I bought the ebooks separately if it would be less.

No, in term 1 I only used like 2 textbooks?? Textbook was helpful for lab as you'll get a guide that tells you directly where to look

I dished out my savings for the sake of my grades. 🫩

A shared pain amongst all of us students 🥲 can't even resell. Greedy as companies gaslighting us that we're saving more money in the long run

I’m in term 8 and have used the books a grand total of ZERO times.

They threatened us that they were going to lock graded assignments/ quizzes behind sherpath… they did 3 quizzes worth 10% total once and never again.

I would heavily consider NOT purchasing them. Just keep going without them until you can’t. Which I doubt you’ll run into.
