This book was a good review source for me, being that I'm going back to nursing school. My textbooks from years back are outdated. Good purchase.

It's fairly easy to follow along and learn on your own with this book. That's good considering we had to do that for our class. The instructors never taught anything to us, we had to do chapters on our own and turn in the work, then take a test on it. Thankfully it was very descriptive and gave many examples so it was easier to follow and do on my own.

I bought this book to help me prepare for Nursing and the calculations I would need to be able to do next semester. I found this text to be very helpful. It breaks down math into simple steps and provides adequate opportunities to practice new skills.

If you are a nursing student this is a must have book. It includes dosage calculations and other important nursing math. Great to have if you are a beginner or if your math needs refreshing.

This is a good book. I especially like the cd that comes with it. The online tests give you a good baseline of your math skills.

I believe that this book is too vague and does not provide enough information. It does not explain why or how things are done and does not provide better examples of each type of problems. I believe that the book Calculate with Confidence is a much better book as it provides much more information. Unfortunately, the school I go to requires Dosage Calculations.

This book has been a lifesaver so far. It gives an excellent review of fractions, percents and ratios that I desperately needed. The format is easy to read and it provides excellent practice questions and self tests.

(Hide Review...)  Not bad..
Reviewer Permalink
There are a few mistakes with the anwers and it would be nice if there were step by step solutions to some of the practice questions. It does offer a few good rule of thumbs/tips. Just memorize the basic conversions and do the practice scenarios and dosage calculations start to make sense.

I bought a lot of books from amazon, this time is the worst one. when I open the package, I am unhappy to see that the book without any covering as before it with. and even worse, there are some dirty dots on the cover. Is this the book I spent 51 dollars on?
bad quality.
