I enjoy Pharmacology. I wish it wasn't so basic. I wish it went into more detail about the different names of all of the various medications, how they are dosed and whether or not they're used in pediatrics.

Eh. This one was okay. It was nice how Kee et al. kept it simple and introduced each category in a separate chapter (so that it's not TOO overwhelming), and then went into the details about "okay; THIS is what a nurse would need to know about this class of drug (which is basically everything about the drug).

Drugs are not as interesting as they seem.

[Seth Bevelle · Rating 4 out of 5]

One of my favorite classes. A book I'll hold onto forever. Amazing referral!

[Kimberly · Rating 3 out of 5]

This definitely counts as a book read since I read it basically cover to cover. It could have been worse!

Pharmacology is NO FUN.
