There is nothing worse than pulling out 2 books in the middle of lecture and then trying to find a chapter or section with the rest of the class. It was difficult to put both books in my Jansport back pack, and it was difficult taking them out without spilling everything else! Do yourself a favor and just by the single volume to save yourself a hassle. Content wise, there are some sections that go nicely into details, and then there are sections that come short on explanations. I guess you will need a library of nursing books to get the whole picture.

This review is from: Brunner & Suddarth's Textbook of Medical Surgical Nursing: In Two Volumes (Brunner and Suddarth's Textbook of Medical-Surgical Nursing) (Hardcover)

I have been licensed for 2 years. When i was in school, my last semester, this was the book that my professor used as an additional reference. I have been waiting for 2 years for the price to come down and bought this because of the standard that is part of lipincott, Williams & Wilkins. The info in this textbook will never be outdated. It is well organized & structured. Many nursing textbooks leave out very important information. This set has everything from a to z. I will never regret purchasing this used set for $25 which included the cd's unopened & the code for additional Internet access unused. My daughter is preparing to enter the nursing program & she will be able to utilize this excellent textbook in addition to that which the college will require. This is a reference book to keep!

I use this textbook as a supplement to the required text for my nursing courses. Brunner's is a much easier read. It breaks down the material into simple terms and is easy to understand. I prefer to read it than my other book. Glad it came in two volumes rather than one ginormous volume!
