This book was listed as "new" so naturally I expected to receive a NEW book. While the book is in good condition, upon receiving it I immediately noticed it had been used because there were post-it notes tabbing pages. There is also some highlighting on the pages.
 Great help for my nursing classes October 25, 2008

A+ August 6, 2008

I give this text an A +. so far. Has a variety of great questions, problems and examples to help the whole process and logic sink in, talks to me in an easy-to-understand way. I saw some other texts that
don't compare. S. Rocklin
Excellent text May 14, 2008

This book illustrates the relationship of the math to clinical practice better than any other text I saw. We don't attend clinical until after the math for medications is completed. The vocabulary definitions also are very helpful.
 Not so great February 14, 2008
J. Chadwick
I am only on the first chapter of this book and have already found MANY mistakes in the answer key for the "rapid practice" problems. I don't like that the pages are all perforated and can be torn out as if it were a workbook, not a text book. For this reason, among others, it was really overpriced. Also, very displeased with the online access tools. I took the time out of my studies to register and come to find out I don't get access to anything helpful. I believe that the online access registration was just a ploy to get my address and other personal information. Not happy with this book at all so far.
