Diversity NRSE 4570

Updated:   Published

Specializes in OB.

I am taking this class in November and I was just reviewing the book that is needed. I saw that they recently changed the required book. I bought mine a couple months ago because I was going to take it sooner. I have the 5th edition and now they want us to have the 6th edition. I wonder if this will make much of a difference. I had to pay another $50.00 for this. Any thoughts?

Ask the instructor. He/she should know how much difference there is between the 2 editions. Sometimes, it's very little. For example: you might be able to "make do" with the old edition if you can get someone to Xerox a specific new chapter, etc.

Not sure this helps...but Nursing Cultural Diversity was one of the easiest classes to take. I would guess that it would not make a big difference. But, asking professor/TA would be the best advice.

I bought the 5th edition because I found it on amazon for $9! I figure I will take a chance. I bought the last edition for public health and there were a few page changes but it worked just fine and saved me about $60.

You will likely be just fine with the edition you have!

Can you guys tell me the current book used for Diversity right now? I can't pull up the class on the website and need to order my book for my class in about 2 weeks Thanks!

Go to the RN to BSN Knowledge Center- Click on either Online Bachelor Completion or Academic Outreach Initiative Students. You will see a link that says order books. All of the books for the nursing classes are listed there.

Jodlove,

I also have the 5th edition. If you go to the publishers website and register, you can download the additional chapters that were added to the 6th edition for free as PDFs.
