- Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2018This book was great! I loved how simple it was to learn the material. I took a dosage test to apply for nursing school, I needed a 90% to apply and I used this book to help guide me along with my study guide of sample problems: which did not explain how to do it the problem, and I made a 93% on the first try! I’m not great with conversions, it’s my biggest nightmare and this book really helped me get through it. I gave it a 4 because some of the problems didn’t explain how to do it, it was implied that you already knew how to solve it and I didn’t like that.. other than that, GREAT!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2016very good price and the book arrived in good condition
- Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2018I'm even wondering if the professors who recommend books even read them... this is just one example of how poorly edited textbook can influence the outcome of a course. Given the fact that this textbook is supposed to prepare future nurses how to calculate drugs, this is beyond irresponsible to even consider publishing it and even more irresponsible to recommend as a main text to prepare you for your course exam. Don't waste your time with this crap if you really want to prepare for a drug calculation exam.
