Although I just started the Pharmacology class, this book has been very beneficial in helping me understand the concepts of pharmacology. I would also recommend the Lipincott or Davis's Drug Guide for Nurses 10ed. book to facilitate learning. So far the class has been pretty rough, so beware.

Although many nursing students would cringe at the thought of taking pharmacology, this text actually makes it easy. The author inserts many humorous comments throughout the text while making the necessary presented information easily readable and understandable. The included disc provides students with thought-provoking questions that test knowledge on each chapter. An excellent text overall.

I had another text for my pre-nursing pharmacology class, and after suffering through it, found this one. Even though I had already finished the class, I bought this and read it cover to cover. It's worth it. Not a lot of details on the chemistry, but it's great for the practicioner who needs the practical information. The background parts that discuss physiology and some chem are excellent to keep things in context.

Pharm was definitely my hardest subject during nursing school. I had a hard time keeping all the drug classes straight, but this incredible textbook gave me the exact tools I needed to understand the drugs. With Lehne's sense of humor (in chapter 1 she writes a note to the "chemophobes" - those of us who are scared of chemistry class!) makes this text book interesting and easy to read.

This classic text is simply the best. It's great for an undergraduate nursing pharmacology course, and it's also good as a review prior to advanced pharmacology for NPs. The text is well organized and gives a solid but not overly technical treatment of pharmacology. Definitely a must have for any nurse!
