Contemporary Medical-Surgical Nursing, Volume 1 (Book Only)

Renting vs. Buying This Textbook

Renting is usually cheapest if you only need the book for one term: you return it with a free prepaid label when the term ends.

Rentals and used copies rarely include working access codes.

Always match the ISBN on your syllabus (9780840023360) before you order; different editions have different ISBNs.
