This book flows very nicely. It is easy to follow, and has some hidden humor in it. As anyone knows pharmacology is necessary for nursing, so pick this book!

Book arrived on time in a perfect condition as stated by the seller. I am highly satisfied.

Very up to date material and easy to read. Lots of pictures help to describe the main concepts which is great for the visual learner. Has helped me to understand all concepts so far in my class!

The book arrived quickly and in good shape. Honestly, I haven't opened it yet. I got it for a class.

Pharmacology... stay away! No, not really, but this book will make you want to run the other direction. For one, I have a normal sized mailbox, not one of those huge mailboxes that you could fit a truck in like the one the crazy old man has just down the block. The mail person hand delivers our mail to our door, not just driving up in a postal van or whatever it is called. Our mail lady had to come to our house before she started on her usual route just to deliver this over sized, and might I add, over weight book. Literally, when I picked up this package on my porch, I thought that someone had sent me a lead brick. But, to my surprise, it was a book. The book is laced with the usual textbook non humor, but I will have to admit that the information is extensive even if it puts me to sleep for twenty minutes after each section. All in all, it is a genuine textbook.

I had to use this book for my pharm class. I LOVED this book. It made memorizing the drugs really easy. It has all of the information you need to fully understand all of the different classes of medications. This is going to be a book that I keep for reference in the future.

This is a great pharmacology book. I actually read the entire book with absolutely no problem at all. It is broken down into understandable concepts. At the beginning of every chapter, Lehne does a quick review of pathophysiology regarding each drug's use.

This book is a good source of information for the nursing student. The CD Rom is very helpful.

This is one of my favorite nursing texts. It is concise, organized, accurate, well-written, and up-to-date --unlike many of my other nursing texts (e.g., Kee's pharmacology). I actually enjoy reading it.

This is not a required text for me, but I would not do without it. I recommend it to anyone who wants to speed their understanding of pharmacology. --I have spent extra time pondering it as it has alerted me to errors in my required text(s). That's a good thing. I just wish those other texts weren't required and Lehne was. Best to learn the right data from the start.

Lehne uses tables to present complex information from various angles. This helps to better and rapidly digest things like drug categories, therapeutic results, etc.

Lehne uses more medical/scientific language and explanations compared to my other nursing texts. That's a plus to me, but others might not like it. My other books use simpler language (and/or definitions which clutter the writing and slow my reading) and omit background info (which I find helpful). I actually find Lehne simpler as he doesn't dance around the material. He just states it simply and directly and I get it. When the explanation is not there, as in my other texts, rote memorization is required. I am much better at remembering per an associated concept, so I like Lehne.

Finally, I have found Lehne to be markedly more up-to-date than my other texts. For instance, I have 2008 and 2009 texts that describe drugs that the FDA removed from the market more than a decade ago. Lehne had already updated his info in his 2001 edition (and of course the 2006 edition). I have not found the typographical errors or sloppy writing in Lehne that I have found in other texts. I think overall, Lehne has a better writing and editing team.

Fast shipping and book in very good shape.. exactly as described. Saved lots of money by not buying books from my school

Lehne has done an excellent job at making a potentially dry subject interesting and, at times, captivating. He is very talented at giving the "why" behind how drugs work and why they have side effects. However, this is not a book for laypeople. For it to be a truly good read one should have a comfort level with human anatomy and physiology - at the very least. Previous pathophysiology coursework would be preferable.

The book is set up in a very logical way. Lehne provides a helpful review of A&P fundamentals for a particular body system and then presents the medications that affect that system. The chapters are relatively short (many less than ten pages) and easy to digest. The writing style is easy to read and not overly technical. Also, there is not an excessive use of abbreviations which makes reading the book more like, well, reading a book and less like reading a textbook.

This book is well written and includes thorough drug details. In Pharmacology some information will overlap or have reference to prior information in the text. For example, beta-blocker medication is mentioned for use in multiple system disorders, and in case you forgot how it works, it will give you a brief summary when mentioned instead of having to flip to the glossary and find where the text originally described the information.

This book is one of the best reads of all of my school books, simply because Lehne doesn't try to sound hyper-intelligent to impress. He keeps it simple, and interesting, and that definitely gives one the desire to continue reading. I have learned so much from this book already. One of my favorite school reads by far! This book will continue to be useful in my future studies. Worth every cent that was paid! LOVES IT!

This book has a lot of detail in it, which makes it a lot easier to understand the difficult terminology. I recommend this book to anyone who is in nursing, pharm or medical school. Very helpful! Puts knowledge into words that are easy to understand and uses a lot of examples. Great text! It also comes with a CD that is extremely helpful

This classic text is simply the best. It's great for an undergraduate nursing pharmacology course, and it's also good as a review prior to advanced pharmacology for NPs. The text is well organized and gives a solid but not overly technical treatment of pharmacology. Definitely a must have for any nurse!

Pharm was definitely my hardest subject during nursing school. I had a hard time keeping all the drug classes straight, but this incredible textbook gave me the exact tools I needed to understand the drugs. With Lehne's sense of humor (in chapter 1 she writes a note to the "chemophobes" - those of us who are scared of chemistry class!) makes this text book interesting and easy to read.

I had another text for my pre-nursing pharmacology class, and after suffering through it, found this one. Even though I had already finished the class, I bought this and read it cover to cover. It's worth it. Not a lot of details on the chemistry, but it's great for the practicioner who needs the practical information. The background parts that discuss physiology and some chem are excellent to keep things in context.

Although many nursing students would cringe at the thought of taking pharmacology, this text actually makes it easy. The author inserts many humorous comments throughout the text while making the necessary presented information easily readable and understandable. The included disc provides students with thought-provoking questions that test knowledge on each chapter. An excellent text overall.

Although I just started the Pharmacology class, this book has been very beneficial in helping me understand the concepts of pharmacology. I would also recommend the Lipincott or Davis's Drug Guide for Nurses 10ed. book to facilitate learning. So far the class has been pretty rough, so beware.

This text is being used by PA and FNP students at my school. Of all the books we have read throughout the program, Pharmacology for Nursing Care is hands down my favorite text. It's extremely well written, important points are clearly emphasized, and Lehne also throws in a touch of humor!

So far, this is the best textbook that I have had in my graduate nursing education. Lehne takes what can be a difficult subject and very deftly organizes the content and simplifies the explanations of the various classes of drugs. My class was entirely online and I was able to grasp all the concepts and learn the material by the book alone. It is an easy to read, well organized text that I highly recommend to anyone in need of a pharmacology resource. You won't want to sell it back!

I made it through my class without the help of this book even though it was required to read. I found this textbook very confusing and not helpful to me unless you want to major in this kind of stuff.

This textbook is interesting, easy-to-read, and clear. The author writes in an entertaining and enjoyable style without sacrificing thoroughness and scientific rigor. I'm very glad that my professor chose this textbook for our class.

All I have to say after couple of pharmacology classes (one for LPN program, one for LPN-RN program)this book beats both classes hands down. The information is given in such an easy manner, I don't know why more books are like this one. And unlike most "textbooks" this one is actually really enjoyable to read believe it or not. The author is the best I have seen in "textbook" format in a long time, plus the information is easy to understand. I would highly recommend this book even if you are not taking a Pharm class, this is a great reference book also, the first book I have had in a while I will NOT be selling it back to the bookstore!

This book is the best. I am getting in A in pharm and I know it is credit to this text. Cut, clear and to the point. Every nursing pharm class should use this one

This is by far the best textbook that I have ever bought. It is clear, concise, and presents the information in terms that most people will be able to understand. It feels like the author is speaking directly to you in an informal setting. This is a textbook that I will not sell.

I was trying to purchase the book at my college bookstore. The book was on order for several weeks. I then decided to order the book on line. This was a blessing because the book was shipped and received in very good condition and it was shipped within 3 days. I was able to get the book and study for an exam I had 4 days later. THANK YOU AMAZON for offering such services. Going forward all of my purchases for books are online.

This textbook does an excellent job in explaining the physiology, drug actions, adverse effects, etc. Students will have a good understanding of how drugs work after using this textbook. The physiology in this book is a plus. It explains very well receptors such as the adrenergic, cholinergic, and opiate receptors. All new drugs are included in this book. This book is a number one for all nursing and college level pharmacology courses.

I have read a lot of drug books in the course of my nursing (RN) education and this book helped me understand Pharmacology. The author, Lehne, is very concise in his presentation of pathophysiology and pharmacology i.e., mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, adverse effects, interactions, etc. One thing that sets this book apart from the other drug books is the extensive but concise explanation of nursing implications related to each drug. At the end of each chapter, the author lists a summary of Major Nursing Implications which is very helpful and indispensable to students and practicing nurses.
