I bought this book for Level 2 nursing classes that have not started yet. It has been a great help with Level 1 as well. It breaks everything down for you. It has been great for working on my drug cards as well. Nursing students can not go wrong buying this book even for level one meds. I am very happy I decided to buy while still in level 1.
The book was for my son in RN Nursing School. It was a book he was required to have. It is very informational. He does still refers back to it at times.I received the book as the seller said it was. Would buy again off seller.
Not bad for a pharmacology book. Of course, how interesting is Pharm really going to be? But in general it is easy to read and understand and breaks things down pretty well. I would have given it 5 stars, but I just don't like pharmacology. But I have to say that the seller got it to me quickly in pristine condition.
Breaks down classification and what to do as a nurse. Our test questions are based on scenario and applying what you learn so reading the nursing process and adverse reactions helped lots. It's HARD when you are tested over 10 chapters at once
NO Page Numbers in the Kindle version. So inconveniencing, when the teacher ask the class to go to a certain page number , you are lost , coz you can't do it with the kindle version.
It met my expectation and code was intact. Very clean and can not complain. Good job seller and .
Good book, did not use as often for class as I thought I would
Everything that I expected and more for my 2014 PN program
