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.

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.

I really love this book for pharmacology class, I am using in in addition to my pharm book. I am in RN school in my final semester taking pharm III and I feel that the questions are very good for practice.

This whole series of books is a big help. It condenses everything into a short outline form but with the info you need plus there are NCLEX type questions with the answers and rationales. I recommend the whole series if you are in Nursing School.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK. It is an easy read and pulls the important stuff the instructor is looking for and condenses everything for you. Any book in the Review/Rationale series is a MUST have for nursing students. It is not a replacement for the textbook but when you are overwhelmed and quickly need something to give you the understanding of a concept this book does that.

I just got this book a few weeks ago,so far this is one of the most comprehensive in phramacology study for nursing students.

I am in nursing school and unfortunately haven't found these series of books to be particularly useful to me. Additionally, the font is small and does not really make me engaged with the material.

Gets to the info needed w/o the excessive info....there are better books. But it really depends on your learning style. I still have other resource books to go with it. They do work wonderfully together. Pharmocolgy Success...was a great book to add to this. If not just alone.

I would highly recommend ordering from this site. I received it earlier than expected and was overly pleased with the condition and price.
