BOOKLIST for PN Program, Evening Option: Main Campus
Summer Quarter (April 2015)
Use International Standard Book Numbers (ISBN) to identify the books below with any book vendor. Required textbooks
are necessary for academic success; you must buy and study from them in order to succeed in a course as outlined in the
course syllabus. Recommended textbooks provide material that will boost your academic performance in that course, but
are not always necessary for academic success. Faculty may or may not use recommended textbooks in class or during
clinical. Please confer with course faculty prior to purchasing recommended textbooks.
Rented, used, and e-book formats may be available at a reduced cost to the student. A dagger (†) preceding a title
indicates the book is appropriate for renting. A keyboard symbol (⌨) preceding a title indicates the book is available in
an e-book format. When renting a textbook, it may not include CDs, DVDs, or access codes for other protected electronic
content, even if the book had those features when it was sold new. These features may be required for successful
completion of the course in which the book is used. If you believe a textbook is supposed to include a disk or an unused
access code, check before renting. Galen is not responsible for purchases made in error.
Students may purchase books at a discounted price through the Galen Amazon store at the following link:
