I used this book to CLEP out of a Med Dosing class, and I missed 6 out of 115 questions!! This book is the best and one to add to any Nursing major's collections of books to keep on hand.

We had to complete this entire book before beginning our LPN nursing coursework. It is a great book!

It explains concepts thoroughly and gives plenty of examples so you can go step-by-step to calculate new problems. The answers are in the back so you can check your work before you move on to a new concept.

I've used is several times as a resource throughout my LPN year. Highly recommended.
