Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages. I’ll definitely make another purchase soon! Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!

  • Good iformation for medication dosing

    I'm intimidated by math, and I need a great grasp of math in order to do my job as an LPN when I graduate from nursing school. This volume determines what needs to be improved by running you through a self test to find out how proficient you are. Then you start on the examples increasing your skill level and confidence as you go. If your current job uses math daily this book will develop any weak areas you may have. Note; you will get better help elsewhere if you need a beginning math book. This tome is directed at a fairly proficient individual, the material assumes you understand basic math with some exposure to daily use of math in a job setting. If you passed your high school math, then you are a good candidate for this study course.

  • Made the Right Decision

    As a pharmacy tech student, I struggled with math calculations for dosages. I failed the class, so after re-enrolling to take the class over again in order to graduate, I decided to look into another textbook to better understand the concepts. I chose this textbook because of how easy it was to grasp the concepts of volume/weight, total weight versus total volume and all the other ways to accurately calculate dosages. The book is a little old, but not enough to take away the focus of what I need to learn. Skimming through a few chapters and working some problems had me grasping the concepts very quickly. I can honestly say I am confident that I'll pass the class and be able to graduate on time. I highly recommend it for those who are struggling with dosage calculations.

  • dosage calculations by pickar

    It was a required text so I bought for a nursing class, my clinical- it's really a great book. It's laid out like "calculations for dummies" with full examples, sample drug labels and full color. I'd recommend it to anyone who needs more practice with calculations, I know that it's helped me a lot this semester. It has a great section on insulin administration, and focusus a lot of medication error. I think that i'll keep this book for future reference.

  • GREAT BOOK!

    needed it for class, explains everything SO great, breaks everything down step by step! love it! Going back into a math class after being out for several years was extremely nerve racking, but taking the time to read through the chapters and do the review sets was totally worth it!

  • Dosage Calculations

    Very helpful. Love the CD that comes with the book. It is great for the beginner like me. I start nursing in the fall f this year and this book was reccomended.
