I love this book. It breaks down pharmacologic drugs by system (ie. drugs used on the GI system, abx, etc.) and explains them in very simple terms while still being entertaining. This book does not read like a text book. However, at the end of each chapter, there is a little 3-7 question quiz. The only down side about this book is that it does not give the common names of drugs (ie. Colace is referred to as ducosate sodium). This book has really helped me in clinical and my practice NCLEX scores have dramatically improved. This book is a must own for nursing students, new grad nurses, or anyone who needs brushing up on pharmacology.

We purchased this book thinking it might be useful for our medical students. It is not. This book has numerous basic errors of pharmacology principles. It is laid out well and communicates things clearly however it is misleading and wrong about important aspects of pharmacology. Believing some of what is written in this book could result in harm if it influenced prescribing decisions.A book written in this style covering these areas could be very useful if it was correct.Dr Matt DoogueClinical Pharmacology Registrar.

I love this book. It breaks down pharmacologic drugs by system (ie. drugs used on the GI system, abx, etc.) and explains them in very simple terms while still being entertaining. This book is a must have for all nursing students. Sure does make pharmacology a lot easier to understand.

Doctors can't keep track of every detail about every medication. So, it's essential that patients read about meds before taking them. Sometimes, however, the information just doesn't make sense to us. This book, helps it make sense. It's well organized. The information is great, and the style incorporates humor to make important points.

Helpful breakdown of most pharmacological agents. Very helpful fact boxes for adverse effects and special notes. Does not include charts or tables. No osteoporosis medications included.

This book takes topics and spins them down into understandable basics. It is a great supplement to your text book. There is not enough detail in this book to take the place of a text book, but it allows you to get the basics without getting bogged down in all the extraneous details. Once you have the basics, those extra details will make more sense. I would recommend this to everyone.

Where have these books been all my life? The whole series is a fantastic summery of the meat of the matter! I hope to own more of them!

For someone that just recieved their RN license!!! I would recommend all the incredibly easy books.
