Title: Don't be cheap--buy the new edition!
Review: I thought my friend who is a year ahead of me in nursing school was doing me a favor when she offered to sell this textbook for next to nothing. I knew that a newer edition had been released, but I doubted that it really mattered which one I bought. Unfortunately, I quickly discovered that the differences between the sixth and seventh editions of Fundamentals of Nursing are SIGNIFICANT! My curriculum has very detailed reading assignments based on the seventh edition, and I was not able/willing to keep up with all of the changes through more than a couple of weeks. The new version has some added content, but it is actually (mercifully) almost three pounds lighter. The Mosby's Nursing Skills Videos are also a good investment--I like the review questions they contain--and these are hard to purchase separate from the new book.
