This book made it so easy to learn nursing calculations it was not even funny! I picked up so fast that I finished the entire book in one night. I passed my nursing boards with 75 questions in 30 minutes - and this book really helped!
this book was mandatory for our 1st semester of nursing school. very helpful and the CD that comes with it will help you with your studies in the nursing field. has a step by step way to solve with worksheets in the chapters to do the problems based on the chapter. pictures were great!! helpful in how it showed wording abbreviations and what not to use as well as simple conversion methods. awesome book!
I got this book to help out with my dosage class in nursing school. My other text book was really confusing, but I found this book and it was great. Very clear and helpful, Very explanatory and really helps you understand dosage. Lots of practice problems (only a few are filled in [with pencil only]). I HIGHLY recommend this book!! comes with CD .
I bought this book because it was recommended for learning dosages during nursing school. I got a lot of use out of it and it definitely helped me to learn medication dosages. The practice problems are the best workout for the brain and there are plenty of them in this book. Helped me pass the dosage test with a 100%!
If this is your required textbook - focus on the dimensional analysis as it's the easiest way to calculate drug dosages... This had LOTS of good practice questions to work through and the CD that comes with it even has BASIC, BASIC tutorials and quizlets to get you up to speed if math is NOT your forte`.
Great product...I ordered it for a review...Most of the nurses who have been working for a period of time are spoiled with the computers and pump calculators..It is always a great idea to review and keep up with the manual calculations in case of an emergency...Thank you...Jane
Very pleased with the layout of this book. Used for an online class, which I used in conjunction with a nursing class that I was attending as well. Working through the problems in this book gave me lots of practice. The way each of the questions were stated gave real situation feel for the problems and how the meds were being used.
We were required to buy this for class. There are calculation errors, and conflicting information on rounding. As a first year nursing student, it was very frustrating using this book. Sure, the formulas they presented were helpful. They showed 4 different approaches to calculations. But the practice problems were just frustrating. I would say keep looking. There has to be a better option. Textbooks should not have errors.
