This will be my first time ordering books off amazon. I've always purchased my books at our schools bookstore, but as you said...they're way too pricey. Just find out the ISBN number which you can usually find on your schools website. When you enter it in at amazon or whatever other website you buy it from, it'll pop up with the book and price. I only ordered 2 nursing books off amazon. I saved a lot of $.
LOVE LOVE LOVE AMAZON!!! I have bought ALL of my books from them. Sign up for Amazon Student (with your .edu email) and you will get free 2 day shipping on all Prime eligible items! I often buy used books sold by Amazon themselves. (Mostly because it's free shipping) I have however bought from other merchants, and NEVER have had a problem. I've been burned by eBay before, but once I fell in love with Amazon, I will never go anywhere else!!
As long as you search by ISBN number, you should be fine. I usually go to Half.com for textbooks first and if they don't have it, Amazon is my next best bet. It's nice because you have the option of new, used, or rent most of the time. Check out the student prime account (6mo free trial and then $39/yr) for super fast shipping.

What is your experience buying new books from Amazon for nursing school? The bookstore in the nursing school I will attend sells the books extremely expensive. I realized that I can save a lot of money through Amazon. I just want to make sure that any code that I could possibly need will work for me.
Thanks
