This review is from: Brunner and Suddarth's Textbook of Medical-Surgical Nursing (Two Volume Set) Twelfth Edition (Hardcover)

After reading some negative reviews, I was afraid I would only receive one volume. Both volumes arrived at my door SUPER fast. I was under the impression that two cd's came with this order, but it looks like only one cd is included with one of the volumes. I'm not going to worry about it as the ISBN # matches the one on my college bookstore list. The books came shrinkwrapped and in fabulous condition.

Thought I would add to the good reviews here in case anyone else was in my former position and hesitant to order.

Thanks, Amazon!

I ordered these books for my 2nd semester of nursing.. i was reading some of the product reviews about missing books and realized that i had only gotten 1. I've just contacted amazon and i am hoping that they will send me the first volume very quickly seeing as my semester stars in 3 weeks. I am very dissapointed that this happened i've never had any trouble with amazon before.

I ordered direct from Amazon and received exactly what I expected. I received Volume 1 and Volume 2, each brand new and individually shrink wrapped. Volume 1 included a DVD-ROM and a scratch off code to use online. While I haven't used these features yet, I just wanted to add my review since there seems to be some concern with people not receiving both volumes. For this reason I chose not to order from a marketplace seller (some of which stated their sales did not include the DVD or scratch off code) I am taking an RN refresher course which requires me to have access to some of these extra features.
