I just completed my Family Nurse Practitioner Program. I have purchased several EXPENSIVE pharmacology books over the past three years, all which made the pharm complicated and difficult to understand. This book is the best, easy to carry and easy to read. The cover is wimpy so am going to take it to a graphics place and have a binder put on it so it does not fall apart.

This book is pack-full of errors. One page will give you erroneous information, the next will give you definitive. There are spelling errors and outright mistakes. There are places that will define diseases incorrectly, drug metabolism wrong, dosages are sometimes way off... it is incredible. I only wish the school I am attending had read this text before they forced us to use it for the advanced pharmacology course in my FNP program. We are learning less than we should be simply due what this textbook lacks, quality, efficiency, and CORRECT INFORMATION. Grab something else is my advice to anyone who has an option.

I just finished my FNP program and as I am out in practice find myself in need of quick review on many things not well studied or specifically addressed in school. This book is organized by system/complaint with tables listing first line, second line, and third line treatment in each chapter. There are also sections in each chapter specific to peds, women, and geriatrics. There are treatment algorithms which make decision making easy, simple, and at a glance. I am replacing my Edmunds and Mayhew with this one. I highly recommended this book.

great resource, fairly concise. glad that i bought it to have with my other text for pharmacology in an FNP master's program

I've been waiting a long time for the new version of this pharm book to be published. As a nurse, nurse practitioner & educator, this book has been the easiest to understand & use in all settings. The systems approach to presentation of content is very helpful. I would recommend this text to any nursing or medical student.

Like Donna M. Fenske, who also rated this text, I had purchased many expensive Pharm Texts before buying the 1st edition of this text. At the time I was a PA-C Student at Stanford School of Medicine and this was the best text for successful completion of the program and certification as a PA-C. I am about to take my re-cert (PANRE) and will buy the second edtion. It is straight forward, no fluff and to the point. I think, at my suggestion, this is the current textbook for Pharm at my Alma Mater.... as it Should be! Thank you Virginia and Andrew, well done!

To date I have found at several mistakes in this textbook. It's enough for me to know that my money would have been spent better elsewhere. Had it not been required reading for my NP class, I would NOT have even looked at this book. For instance, IBS med Lotronex vs Lovenex? Those authors should have known better. Our Pharm D, Ph.D instructor was also not impressed with the book but had no say about which textbook to choose for the class. He said he found several other mistakes as well and was so disgusted he hasn't finished reading it.

I needed this book for school. I was able to purchase this from the seller at a substancial discount. Book was band new and as described. Prompt communication and delivery. Completely satisfied with this seller.

Great reference during my FNP program! Would like to order an updated version. Any ideas when one will become available?

Pharmacotherapeutic for Advanced Practice: A Practical Approach by Arcangelo & Peterson is an excellent resource book with in depth descriptions of medications, herbal products and their uses, as well as dosages, including information on adverse reactions and drug interactions. An excellent resource!
