As a nurse, I was interested in taking a look at the eBook edition of this. It is always good to go back and refresh yourself on medications. Plus I wanted to see how it compares to the books I used when I was studying for the NCLEX.
I have to say, this book is pretty good!! In each chapter, the author explains why the medication in used and is able to explain it in a way that non-medical personal could understand. It then goes on to talk about what you need to keep in mind as a nurse when giving these medications such as side effects, what patients labs should look like before giving the medicine or how the medicine can affect labs, administration instructions, etc. It then goes on to list the names of the medications. All this is then followed up by some practice questions.
The author does not add any extra non-sense to what is being explained in this book, unlike so of the other books I used in the past. I did not get a sense of information overload when reading. The questions that are asked in this book was more like the questions I encountered on the NCLEX exam. Other study guides will add extra stuff to the question because they want you to pick out the important information and come to a decision that way. This book is pretty much clear cut and to the point. It is a book I wish I had at the time I was studying for the test. I recommend this book to nursing students.
I received this book free or at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion.
