I needed more formulaic math problems to practice, this is very specific for beginning RN I believe. I am in a Psych Tech program, and the math I need to learn is toward an LVN, for this semester. This book had some pages I could use, but a better preview (middle and end) would have helped.
Soo glad I found this online! Very pleased, I used it for my nursing class "pharm calcs"!
My order was delivered in the time span stated. No damage to the package. Very pleased!!!
