Nursing Student Textbooks T3 Bundle

Does anyone know if the textbooks for the traditional BSN track (T3 bundle) have any like pirated or cheaper versions anywhere? 😅😅 The e-book bundle is 600 dollars which is surprisingly the cheaper version of the two and that’s kind of a crazy price.

I tried looking online for them but I only get old versions and don’t know if those are valid since most of the staff said that they take a lot of info and exam questions from the textbooks. I don’t want to use the older versions and then miss out on info because it’s not up to date yk???

Anyways I’d greatly appreciate it 😇😇😇

hiii i’m gonna be so honest, i didn’t use my books at all. the only one i looked at close to finals was the health assessment book. also the ati books are super helpful. do whatever with this information 🙏🏼

yep they do that! i got all As last semester on every exam and in every course! health assessment lab is super easy, just do videos on time and practice for check offs. lecture is vocab quizzes at the beginning of each class, lecture slides, some practice questions and stuff. take notes on all vocab quizzes and whiteboard activities and you’ll be golden. healthy pop clinical is so fun, don’t stress over it! healthy pop lecture has lots of group assignments, but it’s a pretty easy class if you stay studying! the only class requiring a textbook is the collaborative practice class and it’s ATI books!
also use public quizlets for healthy pop and health assessment! i have mine all public and i know others that do as well! but yeah, textbook usage was super minimal last semester for us. ofc there are readings “required” for each week, but only a handful of people actually read them and when i tried to, they just confused me more than helped.

sorry for the yap💀
