This review is from: Introduction to Clinical Pharmacology, 5e (Paperback)

This book goes over the basics, and without all of the wordy, boring information that other pharmacology texts have. I was searching for some time for a book that did not bore me to tears with needless information, and this was it. In fact, I used it more than the regular nightmare text we were assigned to read. Get it, even a used one, and learn those meds!

This review is from: Introduction to Clinical Pharmacology 4th edition (Paperback)

I took pharmacology two semesters ago, and it was a complete nightmare because the professor chose a complicated text that has useless information. Now, I have to play catch-up on my own. I searched this site for a few days, and came across this. This is so what I needed. Now, rather than memorize, I UNDERSTAND!! I would advise any nursing student to have this one as an alternate support book to understand medication in a no nonsense way!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, December 20, 2011

I am very pleased with my purchase! The book is brand new, wrapped and the CD is included and the package has never been opened! I saved money by ordering from this seller on Amazon opposed to buying it at my school's bookstore. I am impressed with the amount of time it took for my package to arrive, especially considering it's the week before Christmas!! Only a couple of business days:)
