This book has a useful format, but it is riddled with typos and inconsistency between the instructions and the answers given. The errors are so many that it interferes with a beginner's ability to learn. I know all books have a few wrong answers in the back, but this numbers in the 10-20 per chapter range, sometimes more. I hope they reedit it, because I did like the design. If they do, they should expand the conversions section to include more household and apothecary problems. The CD is just a condensed version of the book, no new problems to work on.

I began using this book prior to my first semester of nursing school. I was worried about drug calculations as it had been many years since I took a math class. This book was so helpful in refreshing me on basic math all the way through to complicated drug calculations. The cd that comes with the book is also great because it has additional practice questions. I would recommend this to any nursing student for help with drug calc as it is very "user friendly."

This book was on my "required" list, even though we never use it in class. I used it a couple of times to look up formulas for drips/min but other than that I have not used it. I tried to do some practice problems out of it but the method that they use is not the same as the one we use in class and it has been more confusing than helpful. If you need extra practice and are willing to dig through this then try to find a cheap one. Otherwise I would look for a better teaching book.

I ordered these books for college at a very reasonable price. As all of my purchases from Amazon.com, I received them in a very timely manner of about three days. The books were in excellent condition. I recommend everyone order their college books through Amazon as I am very satisfied.

This was a brand new book. I received it in a reasonable time but this book was a mess. The corners were all bent, there were pages crinkled, and about 20 pages in the back were torn halfway up off the binding. I did return it and I got a new one very fast without any charge. I was very pleased with the whole return process, and customer service couldn't have been nicer.
