Nice book, but with mistakesAs a new nursing student I have found this book very useful. There is a very comprehensive introduction which allows the student to relearn some of the math skills that may have been lost over the year. I also really like the fact that the book comes with a removable laminated card with conversions on it. I'm sure that this will come in quite handy when I begin my clinicals.
My only real complaint is that I have found a couple of mistakes in the fifth edition. I found at least two mistake in the answers provided for the chapter review on apothecaries' measurements. I would recommend that the publisher check their material a little better so as to prevent confusion for students.Thumbs Up For Maths for NursesA great little book which is user friendly and concise.I would recommend it for any nurse wanting to learn more about drug calculations ! It gets the thumbs up rating !!Math For Nurses : Thumbs Up !This is a great little book which is concise and user friendly. I would recommend to all nurses as it covers the basics of math and aswell as formulas for completing drug calculations relevent for the nursing profession. |
