As a new nursing student I have found this book very useful. There is a very comprehensive introduction which allows the student to relearn some of the math skills that may have been lost over the year. I also really like the fact that the book comes with a removable laminated card with conversions on it. I'm sure that this will come in quite handy when I begin my clinicals.My only real complaint is that I have found a couple of mistakes in the fifth edition. I found at least two mistake in the answers provided for the chapter review on apothecaries' measurements. I would recommend that the publisher check their material a little better so as to prevent confusion for students.
The is the Best little pocket book for nurses. especically in nursing School learning dosage calculations I found it easy to understand it helped my grade tremendously. I went from a 30 on a test to a 90 .. must buy !!Highly recommended
Math is not my friend, especially math for nursing. However, this has helped me understand the concepts behind the math and I have been successful in my tests because of it.
A great review before going back on the floor after a few years off. Could have used it in nursing school! Great book.
I really like this handy little pocket sized book. It's small enough that I can throw it in my purse and study on the go. It includes a variety of examples on calculations as well as the answers to the problems on the back of the book. If one is new or has difficulties with math, this is the boom to get. It contains a pre-test of required math skills to complete the problems which helps emphasize what you need to know.
I like it. It helps to review the stuff but the Kindle version has stuff missing. I thought maybe I had been just studying too hard. But the assessment part has assessment questions 47-52 missing...I haven't gotten as far as the assessment yet. To who ever has put it on kindle I hope you fix the errors soon.
This is really going to help me start working with nursing students to get them in the drug dosage calculation mode. This small book can be carried to clinicals and can help them working on what they need.
I just started nursing school and my teacher is actually using this book for most of our tests so it's perfect for studying the right material since we weren't actually issued a math textbook.
