5.0 out of 5 stars I disagee with the Advanced degree Snob, June 4, 2004

The purpose of this series is not to TEACH. It provides a testing tool; practice questions for exam or NCLEX prep. If you want to learn about calcium channel blockers, read your textbook or turn to one of Lippincotts other books. I also recommend Lippincott's Clinical Pharmacology Made Incredibly Easy book. The text my prof used in my pharm class was very poor. But I read it anyway. Then, when I was beginning my prep for each exam, I would read through the Made Incredibly Easy chapters in the drug classes specific to what my exam would cover. Then I would use the software to practice. I found this very helpful with probably THE hardest class a nursing student has to slog through.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Don't Listen To Mr. Know-It-All" GREAT SERIES of Books!, April 3, 2008

This review is from: Nursing Pharmacology Made Incredibly Easy! (CD-ROM for Windows and Macintosh) (CD-ROM)

I totally DISAGREE with the inappropriate review from the so-called educated "SNOB" trying to knock the entire series down by labeling prospective buyers as lazy and only looking for quick and easy ways to learn! I personally own seven books from the Incredibly Easy/Visual Series and would HIGHLY recommend all of them. They are wonderful books. I am a visual learner myself and things started clicking for me when I put this series of books together with my text books.

If Mr. Las Vegas REALLY has an ADVANCED degree, then why did he purchase a book with this title in the first place? Is he a professor or something and looking for a supplement book for his pupils?

I am a nursing student with Adult ADHD/Bipolar Disorder. I also carry a 3.97 GPA and it's NOT EASY by a long-shot. I think if a person can find a book that helps them halfway understand the subject matter better, then power to them! EVERYONE LEARNS DIFFERENTLY at different paces.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nursing Pharmacology Made Incredibly Easy!, February 15, 2008

This review is from: Nursing Pharmacology Made Incredibly Easy! (Incredibly Easy! Series) (Paperback)

I bought this book because I like the Incredibly Easy! series. I wanted a pharmacology review and this book is great for that. The illustrations help me remember things easier along with key facts written in highlighted boxes. The nursing process is also used for each drug classification and there are good education tips in this book. It was a great purchase.
