This book truly does make learning how to calculate drug dosages very easy. It takes each step of each type of problem and explains in understandable terms how to set up the calculation and how to solve it. The book is filled with sample calculations and problems for the reader to solve. At the same time that it is a learning tool, it is easy to read and entertaining. It covers all types of calculations even dimensional analysis, explains drug labels, and helps the nurse avoid making drug calculation errors. Great book!

I am so pleased with this book. I got it to help me with my Math for Meds class, and I just loved it. Everything is explained so well.

The first 6 chapters covered algebra stuff. I have recently had algebra, so this was just a nice review for me, but for those of you who haven't had it in years, this book is a godsend.

The chapters on actually med-type stuff are great. There are tons of examples and a mini quiz at the end of each chapter. The tables, charts, graphs, and graphics are great.

I highly recommend this book. It is a must have for every pre-nursing/nursing major or nurse.

The strengths of this book include how well it ties the real world to dosage calculations. It integrates information about oral medications, shots, and I.V. equipment. It also does VERY good keeping dosage calculations relevant by going over common medications and their usual dosages! IE When it discusses sub Q shots, it uses common insulin dosages. This was very helpful! It does not get bogged down in obscure conversions and medicines.
The bad news is that it struggled to explain a helpful PROCESS for multi-factor problems -especially when trying to figure out intravenous gtts/min and mls/hr. "Clinical Calculations Made Easy" by Craig was much better at providing the technique for complex problems with ample and clear rationales.

this book is a great resource for nursing students or medical students in general. I feel it goes over the basics with a new approach and helps to bring back those calculations that were lost with a fresh and challenging perspective. I highly recommend this book as a great refresher!!!

This books has been very helpful while I have been in nursing school. It's easy to follow and gives great examples for each chapter. I would really recommend purchasing it because you will find yourself referencing back to it throughout your time in nursing.

awesome, just what i ordered and needed, helped immensley, as promised and right on time. will definately recommend to others

This book was purchased to help paramedics students enhance their calculation skills.
It was easy to use and every student passed their drug calculations test.

This was a great buyer. Item came within a week and was in excellent condition. I would recommend this buyer to anyone. This was a great gift and my friend loved it. Thanks!

This book was a big disapointment I ordered it to help with IV drug probloms. The book is very basis it has mostly basis math like adding, divison, and % there is only about one or two real math probloms that are used as example. This book is not a good learning tool.

Brand new mint condition at a fraction of retail. Would definitely buy from this seller again.
