Pharmacology is the most difficult aspect of the NCLEX licensure examination for both practical and registered nurses. With new drugs introduced every day and drug interactions a more serious concern than ever before, nursing students need quick, convenient access to up-to-date drug information in order to pass their licensure exams. In a market dominated by lengthy tomes priced nearly double, the Pharmacology Made Easy study guides are the most efficient and economical review choices available. In each book, 295 carefully prepared written test questions cover drug actions, adverse reactions and side effects, contraindications and precautions, interactions, nursing considerations, and therapeutic benefits for more than 600 medications. Complete rationales for correct and incorrect answers are provided. Each book includes a 100-item interactive practice test on disk.

This review is from: Chicago Review Press Pharmacology Made Easy for NCLEX-RN Review and Study Guide (Pharmacology Made Easy for NCLEX series) (Paperback)

This book provides only the most general information about different drugs and the review questions are not the best. I was hoping for a book that provided some details about pharmacology in an interactive learning situation and this book definately does not provide it. A waste of money and time as the days tick down towards taking the NCLEX.

3.0 out of 5 stars This book is a good introduction to pharmacology, August 27, 2007

This review is from: Chicago Review Press Pharmacology Made Easy for NCLEX-RN Review and Study Guide (Pharmacology Made Easy for NCLEX series) (Paperback)

This book is a good introduction to pharmacology ... well that is if you can see through all the miscalculations that the author's make when converting from the metric system to other measuring systems. For instance: the authors claim that 44 pounds divided by 2.2 equals approximately 21 when the correct answer is exactly 20 (question 3 - 27). In the back of the book the author's claim that 1 grain equals 60 mg which is correct but then it gets interesting, they claim that 15 grains only equals 900 mg when the correct answer is 15 x 60 mg = 1000 mg. They even claim that 1 gram equals 900 miligrams - anybody in Europe know that the correct answer is 1000 miligrams. Math must not be the author's best feature.
