Customer Reviews

Simple Read.

I really thought that this book was quite easy to learn from. The format is not what I was used to but I quickly caught on the lay out. I would recommend this (although it is now grossly outdated) to the entry level practitioner.

Great Return Policy

I needed to return this book, and they were 100% compliant and helpful. Makes me entirely comfortable to buy books from this seller in the future.

Helpful in elucidating pharmacology

Book useful, chaptesr are short, begins with the pathophysiology and then extends to the pharmacology. That is a brilliant connection because as a healthcare provider that is the route of figuring out what meds to provide for the patient.

Good resource

I am a FNP who uses this text as a resource when I need to go back to the basics of pharm and put the pieces together- this is more than a "drug guide" and less than a PDR as far as information provided.

essential text for nurse practitioners

Clear , concise and useful. Excellent index in back. Also covers basic physiology at the beginning of each chapter. Up to date. Has got me through my pharmacology course!
