Pharmacological Aspects of Nursing Care Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is one of the worst textbooks I have come across in my educational career, if not THE worst. These are clearly smart authors who can't write themselves out of a paperbag. Finding information in this book is like going on a treasure hunt, but sometimes there is no treasure. It is neither clear nor concise. I am sorry I elected to take this class at a school that uses this book. There are so many other choices that are far better to read.
I was hoping the CD included with the text would be helpful, to offset the text. However the CD won't work until you download a patch; a patch that was created two years prior, in 2007. Thanks for the heads-up Delmar Learning!
If you are stuck with this book for a class, I'm sorry. If you can, find another class that uses a different book. There are many online choices to choose from!
