I ROCKED this final. 100 questions...100%! This book was actually one of the more helpful and informative textbooks I have encountered in my schooling.

Key terms are ill defined in some areas or incorrect and grammar structure is more like word salad. Sometimes the simpler way to go is the most appropriate; lest an author seem pretentious or ignorant.

I go out of my way to give one star to overpriced textbooks. I don’t care that is available used 240 according to my school, 33 to RENT. The study guide is an extra 45-75 bucks. However, skip buying the study guide and buy a book about pirates instead.

Missing blood level tables as well as other tables mentioned throughout the text. This should not be used at any nursing school.
