This review is from: Pocket Companion for Pharmacology: A Nursing Process Approach, 2e (Paperback)

I have the text to this book, which was a total waste of time, because it was set up in such a way that made things more confusing, and unfortunately, have to use it for the rest of this nursing course.

Finding this pocket companion gave me just what I needed, and not a drop more, and now, I actually look forward to studying meds, and feel more confident that I will actually do well on the state boards. Too bad this is no longer printed.
