We had to complete this entire book before beginning our LPN nursing coursework. It is a great book!
It explains concepts thoroughly and gives plenty of examples so you can go step-by-step to calculate new problems. The answers are in the back so you can check your work before you move on to a new concept.
I've used is several times as a resource throughout my LPN year. Highly recommended.

I am using this book for my current Nursing program, and thus far has been very helpful. It breaks everything down, and gives several examples and opportunities for practice. It also builds on everything you've already learned so that you can see how to apply it. I found the pre-test and post-test to be great so that you can gain an understanding of what your math level is before and after reviewing the 1st 8 chapters. If you are already good at basic math, you can skip the first 8 chapters because they are just a review. Overall, a great book, and not hard to understand.

I used this book to CLEP out of a Med Dosing class, and I missed 6 out of 115 questions!! This book is the best and one to add to any Nursing major's collections of books to keep on hand.
