Not much there!
As a nursing instructor I have struggled with how to get my students to get and retain the info they need on meds, without spending hours and hours on med cards they don't remember, nor gain much utility from. I wanted a simple book and this book meets that need only a little. It's a simplistic book, with key highlights on the meds, but it's missing important information like side effects. Plus, frankly the editorial layout of the book seems very poorly thought out. I don't h know who the editor was but the font is incredily small, leaving huge spaces around the text. There's an annoying footer that takes of a significant amount of space on every single page. Their are some pages that are completely blank except for one single bullet point--certainly there was a way to include that on the other page prior. There is one author listed yet early on there's page listing three authors. Frankly, the authors don't seem to have any significant credentials. Not even a BSN is listed for the main author. There's apparently an RN/Pharmacist, working on his CRNA for second author-quite strange. In my decades in heatlh care I have never come across an RN/pharmacist. This book has potential. It's very, very low prices seems to reflect the quality and usefulness.
