The difference between certain Textbooks

Hi all, does anyone know What the difference is between the ‘FUNDAMENTALS of Nursing (2015)’ and the ‘FOUNDATIONS of Nursing (2011)’ textbooks please? I am unsure of which one to purchase for the Nursing Degree course that I am interested in. TIA

Don't buy any books until you are on the course, then you can have a look at what is recommended by your university as the syllabus will vary and you will likely waste your money. Often you will only use a textbook once or twice so getting it out of the library or reading an online copy through the uni library is a better idea

The difference is that the 2015 version was edited/published in 2015 so is more up to date than the 2011 version. You should always be using the most up to date copy available.
However... I completely agree with the advice @Nickita has given. Textbooks are expensive and you won't use one particular one all the time.
