4.0 out of 5 stars Good but Not exactly what I hoped for, November 8, 2009

I have always really enjoyed the Review & Rationale series but this was the first book that fell a little short for me. I am not giving this book a bad review because it is a good book; it is organized, clear, and easy to understand. This book probably would have been more helpful to me when I was in nursing 101 or Med/Surg. I purchased this book during my final semester in nursing school while taking a critical care class. Most of the medications I learned about in critical care were not covered in this book which I didn't realize when I made the purchase. I spoke with another nursing student in my class who also has this book and she agreed: OK book but not a favorite. I don't exactly know why but I always reach for other references first before looking at this book. Perhaps one should look through a copy of this book before buying it to make sure it fits your specific needs.

THIS BOOK WAS MUCH MORE HELPFUL THAN THE ONE I HAD TO BUY FOR SCHOOL. IT BROKE EVERYTHING DOWN INTO OUTLINE FORMATE AND EVEN IDS THE NCLEX INFO.

This review is from: Prentice Hall Reviews & Rationales: Pharmacology (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

I heard many times that Pharmacology was a very difficult subject. My school requires for students to take Pharmacology as a separate course and there is no way I could have been successful without the help of this book. I made straight A's in all my exams and finals, simply because I took advantage of answering and reviewing questions in the book and on the cd.
Please buy this book! You will not have any regrets.
