So I have an old version of First Aid from 2009. I'm wondering if it is worth it to buy the new first aid 2014? Are the changes significant or will an old version suffice?
I just found my 2012 edition the other day and the number of changes between the 2012 edition and the 2013 edition, and for that matter the 2013 and the 2014 edition, are so numerous that you're probably better off getting the 2014 edition. I have a lot of annotations in my 2013, and the painstakingly time-consuming ordeal of copying over all of my notes, underlines, and insights from various sources to the 2014 edition would be an unwise assault upon my already meager remaining amount of time. I'm going to carry around as well as add new annotations to my 2014 edition and use it as my primary while carrying around the old for all of the work I did on the 2013 edition. I thought about cutting the coil binding of my 2013 and recoil binding it with just the pages that have changes on them from the 2014 edition at the end of each chapter of the 2013 edition, and I found that even that's not very easily done. Carrying around both was also what a lot of upperclassmen at my school did.lol is that it? I'm talking actual content. For ex. does the cardio section of 2014 have something that the 2009 doesn't have? Or is it just same information better presentation?
Step 1 isn't the time to penny pinch, just get the newest version.
I think its worth it mostly because the cost is so minor compared to the benefits. This is the Step 1 we are talking about here, even if there was just one tidbit that was on the 2014 and not on the 2009 version that appeared on the exam, it's worth the 50 bucks you pay for the newer edition.So I have an old version of First Aid from 2009.
