1: Did I miss something?????
I think this edition is great in the sense of how drug calculations are to be calculated, but there are math MISTAKES throughout this book. At least in mine. It's like they pulled the #'s out of thin air. One good thing about the practice questions & answers was they do show their work in the back so you can figure out where they went wrong. The calculations were correct, but they didn't copy the #'s down correctly. Which is another very IMPORTANT part of drug math. There were math problems even on the cd that were not correct. I wanted this book to be great in every sense but It was disappointing when I went to check my work.

2: Great for Rusty Math Skills
I was required to do remedial math for my nursing program. I have never been great with numbers and all of the skills I was taught in 7th grade were pretty weak. This book was a great learning tool, there are pre tests and post tests before each unit, every chapter has about 45 practice problems in the review section and another 45 for the skills challenge. There are step by step examples with alternate ways to do each calculation. A CD also comes with this book that has a multitude of practice problems as well. I would reccomend this book for other nursing students and nurses alike.

4: Calculate with Confidence
This book is really great. I got accepted in the nursing program but I always had a fear of math I didn't think I could do it. But this book carrys you step by step even the math dummy can understand dosage calculation. Believe me you won't be disappointed.

5: Great Nursing Math Book
This book is a required text in my nursing program and it has been wonderful. I really needed practice brushing up on math and this book leads you from math basics all the way through to various methods of medication and IV calculation. One unique feature of this text: 3 different methods for calculating medications are introduced (ratio & proportion, formula, and dimensional analysis.) You determine which method you prefer for completing medication problems. The medication examples in the book are then worked through step-by-step based on all 3 methods. I simply study my preferred method of solving problems (ratio & proportion) and disregard the other 2 methods. Each chapter includes pre and post tests and there is a CD-ROM that contains over 500 practice problems. I find the book easy to understand, even if you are self-teaching. There are lots of practice problems and answers. This book is well worth the money!
