Got my book list for Nursing School yesterday.  I have to rent 3 textbooks from the school, no choice. $30 rental per book that is not optional, and buy 7 others.  10 books and 1 of them has 2 volumes, so 11 overall.   :o  I need something to carry them in plus notebooks and other school supplies on my Valks.  It would be nice if it had wheels cause that amount will be a back or arm breaker trying to carry them.  Any suggestions?

TIA,
Marty

+1 on the Airline bag... Strap it on the pillion seat or luggage rack for the ride.  Wheels, retractable handle... probably  just the ticket for you... Good luck in school... :cooldude:

Ride fast and take chances... uh, I mean... ride safe folks.

Check with the publisher. If you own a copy of their book, most will let you download an electronic copy from them. Our high school kids have their textbooks on netbooks.
I ride a motorcycle because nothing transports me as quickly from where I am to who I am.

Holy armloads Batman thats a lot of books.  Is that for on semester, class, or whole program.  My nursing classes only had one book and maybe a "module" (workbook) per class.  Shouldn't have to carry all at one time.

Friend of mine is going to the University of South Alabama's Nursing Program.  She told me they have a hefty technology fee that gets them an Ipad loaded with electronic versions of their textbooks.  I tried to e textbooks but couldn't.

I was looking at the book and equipment list and discovered that's for the whole program.  The 2nd and 3rd semesters only have a supply bag listed and the 4th semester shows nothing.

I suggest a cute co-ed that can carry her weight in books.   :cooldude:
I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

A girl who can pack her own weight around in books... probably ain't gonna be too cute.
