Is anyone else nervous about buying their nursing books on amazon or another site? Our books come in a bund and it would be nice to save some money, however, I am afraid that one might not come with a CD (even though it's new) and some of the books are not even available for me on amazon. Am I the only that feels it's just easier to get them at your bookstore?
Also, do you sell back your books or just keep them all?
I buy all of my books from Amazon. I've never had a problem with anything missing. Just make sure that you read the full descriptions of the books you are purchasing and you shouldn't have a problem.
Regarding selling the books on Amazon, I just opened a seller's account yesterday. I listed 5 used books for sale and ended up selling all of them in a matter of about an hour! I couldn't believe it! I priced mine the lowest just to ensure that they would sell because there is an abundance of each of the books that I'm selling on Amazon.
Amazon also buys back books. I originally was gonna trade the books in, but I made more money selling them to individual sellers. I just have to worry about getting the books to the post office by Monday to ship them off.
I say, definitely check Amazon out for book purchases and selling. There are also other sites out there to buy and sell books, just do a Google search of them. Good luck!

Our books come in a bundle as well, but we also get stuff that buying each book individually would not offer, and its actually cheaper this way...first we get both the E-edition and the book itself for the price of 1, and we also get access to the Elsevier websites extra resources....plus the bundle costs 639$ but at this meeting next week we all get a 10% discount card, saving us 65$....and the books (if bought individually, even when buying used from any site really....is still nearly 800$ and we don't get access to Elsevier's website and other extras...
so really take a look at what your getting in the bundle before buying everything outside of it...
