This is the book we used for my BSN program Dosage Calculation class and I thought it was great. It starts you from the beginning (fractions, ratios, etc) and goes from there. There is no need for a teacher when using this book, it explains things very well and in a simple, easy to read/understand manner. Excellent for the beginner.

I actually enjoy doing dosage calculations now.

I've really enjoyed this book so far. Simple directions to refresh my memory on how to do the math/dosage problems. Only up to chapter 5 or thereabouts but very informative to that point.
Would recommend it.

This is a great student and new nurse medication book.

I had foreign training as a RN, and am familiar with the Metric system and European drugs focalized on European disease incidences (ie: more ORL CA, less DM or HTN issues). Now back in the USA, here I am getting ready to pass the Boards. I need to review dosage calculation and the different medical products, all in English...Yikes! Well, if you're in a situation like mine -or a RN/BSN student-this book is a good investment. It clarifies the calculations, doesn't waste time with out-of-date measures (I mean, who REALLY uses grains and drams anymore?), and has enough exercises to let you hone up your skills and feel comfortable. Sure, there's a bit of stiff language, but not enough, in my humble opinion, to be considered a hurdle. Great reference tool for the foreign-trained healthcare professional who needs to familiarize themselves with American medicaments. So why only 4 stars? The price...

Easy to use; step by step.Love the User Tutorial CD. Highly recommend it.

I wanted the book for my personal use. I am positive it will help me in my daily activities. This is not a review; I know this book will be useful for me and to others. Please let me know if I still need a review after receiving the book. :)

I bought this book to help me prepare for Nursing and the calculations I would need to be able to do next semester. I found this text to be very helpful. It breaks down math into simple steps and provides adequate opportunities to practice new skills.

This book will definately help you if you are in the nursing field. Also great to refresh memory if going back into the nursing field. Would definately recommend.

the book came in a timely manner and it was in excellent condition

There are several practice problems following each section that greatly improved my understanding of calculating dosages. Everything in the book is layed out clearly and is easy to understand.
