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?

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.

All of the books for the nursing classes are listed there.
