Best Doseage Calculation Book, Ever!
This book is the best. I had been stressing out over my doseage calculation test for nursing school and this book gave me peace. The chapters are very short and easy to read. No mind numbing explanations. It gets to the point and will have you doing doseage calculations in a very short period of time. It was well worth the purchase. I have purchased other expensive books and checked books out at the library and they don't compare to this book. It teaches Dimensional Analysis and the Formula Method, perfectly.

An unnecessary purchase for me
It has good information but I ended up not needing it because my pharm teacher was pretty good lol I don’t find myself opening it but maybe I can use it for practice questions.

only nursing calculation book you’ll need, even if you normally struggle with math and numbers!!!!
Before using Bradley’s book I had spent so much money on actual nursing dosage calculation textbooks and various other ones that were to be helpful resources. The reason I had so many was because of my struggle so much with math, and my program never really took the time to teach it much other than there been an expectation that you’d know it and be able to get all the answers right on the dosage exam each semester. It wasn’t until using Bradley’s book that someone like me who is terrible at math actually starting feeling confident doing the problems and feeling like okay this finally is making sense and doesn’t have to be that hard. The book also isn’t very long either because it’s simplified so much but still very easy to understand. I recommend Bradley and his books to others, especially those struggling bad with dosage problems, any chance I get. He really is fantastic with what he has accomplished.

Not for me
I am sorry, but I don’t see the hype about this book. I bought it cause I’m currently in nursing school and I’m terrible at math. However this book seems to use the most difficult formulas to do the calculations. I learned the old formula method, and it has been working and this book only confuses me. Sorry but it’s not for me. There are other features that i found useful like the military and civilian times etc. so for that reason i gave it three stars.
