Mosby's Pharmacology in Nursing

Amazon is a very reliable group. Their site is very easy to use and their prices are very reasonable. They were very honest about the product they were selling. I received my book in a timely fashion, and when it arrived, it was in great condition, just as they said it would be.

Fantastic

The book arrived in a short period of time and was brand new. I'm immensely pleased with my order. Thanks!

Good Textbook

This is a required text for my Nursing Pharmacology class. The text is pretty good. It's straightforward and easy to understand. There are also nice review chapters of different body systems before the chapters on the drugs for the different body systems. There are also continuous case studies throughout the chapter to help you apply the knowledge in the text. The only thing I'm torn about whether I like it or not is how the drugs are presented. There are small sections within the text for each drug that present Pharmcokinetics/ADR, Drug interactions, etc, but it can be difficult to go through all the drug info when you're learning about the drug for the first time. I'm not sure if the drug info would be better placed in boxes separate from the main text. Either way, that doesn't detract from the good info in the text.

Wow

This is a big book. I don't really need it because my professor has an outline for us to follow. But the class is awesome!
