A step by step pharmacology textbook for the nursing student and the seasoned nurse. Excellent source of up-to-date information on the latest drugs, the action of the drugs, the effectives of a drug. It's a who, what, where, how and when pharmacology textbook for the nurse.

This review is from: Pharmacology: A Nursing Process Approach (Paperback)

Highly unfortunate that my instructor made this a required text. I do admit that it has interesting information, but for a condensed LPN program, where there is no time for searching all over the world, I say that this is a waste of time when you want quick information. Nice for the library (after graduation), but not worth the headache. Spend your money where you can get the help.
