If you are looking for a book that will simplify your study of Nursing Pharmacology then don't buy this one. I paid over $40 for it and even though the price seems to have come down a bit I still don't think it's worth the money by a long shot. If you must, buy it used, but really, don't waste your money or time.
1) This book is over 700 pages - it will not simplify your study of Pharm. The pages are dense with text, the graphics are not useful and won't help you remember key points. Much of the information is presented in the form of bulleted lists and no effort seems to have been made to boil things down to what is important or essential.
2) I have several other books from the "Incredibly Easy" series and they were useful. They were shorter and less comprehensive than my text book, but they gave me the essential information. Also, the graphics helped you remember key points and concepts. However, this book fails on all of these counts.
3) The book has a high-level table of contents with only 15 entries. One of them, for example, is Respiratory Drugs. The chapter has numerous internal headings, for example, beta blockers, anticholinergics, etc. but you will only know that by paging through the chapter. A detailed table of contents should have been included in this book. There are no chapter outlines either. So you will have to look in the index for any topic (e.g. anticholinergics) you are interested in - where you will NOT find the page range for the section that deals with this topic. Instead you will find every page, or page range, that mentions the topic you looked up. Bottom line - it is very difficult to find the information you need about a particular class of drugs, or about a particular drug.
