I found out slightly too late that the kindle edition does not have the access code for the online resources for practice questions. Also I agree completely with the previous review that the lack of page numbers makes it impossible to follow assigned reading and references. Please be aware the kindle edition will not work well for most nursing students, if not all. was gangster about the problem though - they refunded me and sent out the hard copy with free next day shipping. As long as it gets here tomorrow I will have time to study for my exam.

WHERE IS MY VOLUME 2?!?! I recently opened up the package now that I'm in med-surg.. And realized I only have 1 of 2 volume! This is ludacris! Misleading product description! I need the second volume (which is continuous of volume 1) and don't have it! Very, very upset. It would be helpful to let customers know that they WILL HAVE TO BUY EACH VOLUME SEPARATELY INSTEAD OF SAYING IT'S A 2 VOLUME SET IF THAT'S THE CASE!

This book description states that it includes PrepU, but it DOES NOT!! It is only the textbook, and you must purchase the online resources separately. It is definitely not cost effective and is basically useless (at least for my course) without the online resources. Will be returning today.

Does not come with PrepU ! For this price I believe it should have one, and it needs to be underlined.

I'd get the two volume set. This book is too large and the binding started breaking apart the first week I had it.

HORRIBLE! Has no page numbers!! This book is a huge disappointment compared with the rest of kindle products. For 124 dollars... We should be able to access/view the entire page

I have really enjoyed this textbook, which is not something I say often. It explains things so well and I have read just about every word for every chapter. It helps me to understand the material so well. I will definitely be keeping this textbook to use as a reference throughout my career.

that was NOT the cover that came on book. Mine was a dark gold/brown cover (2 volume book). However, the ISBN #, title, authors, etc. mentioned were the same, so I HOPE it's the right one. Other than that, I'm assuming (never assume, right?!!) it's the right one. My professor's book looks like the one on the review (green/white), so I'm a bit concerned. :(
