As a first year nursing student, med-math is one of the tasks I had to accomplish. This book explains it in easy to read terms. A must for every nursing student!

This is a good "pocket book" that's easy to keep in your scrub pocket or purse to utilize on the job or at school. It has helped me with memorizing dosage calculations & is a good reference when I feel the need to double-check myself. I bought mine used in excellent condition & I feel it was worth the price.
