Pharmacotherapeutics for Nurse Practitioner Prescribers

I bought this book two months ago and it has been an excellent resource. I am currently taking an advanced course of pharmacology (FNP-S) and after reviewing several other textbooks I decided that this was the best one. If you are working towards an advanced degree in nursing this is a "must have textbook". I strongly recommend it. The book covers the entire spectrum of prescribing from the eyes of a nurse in advanced practice not from the eyes of a pharmaceutical. If you need to know the chemistry and the composition of drugs you need to look for another book. J.M "family Nurse Practitioner"-Student

I bought this book for my APRN class. It seems to be the most up to date book for now. The shipping was fast and I have an A in the class, the book is working!

This book is thorough and easy to understand. It is great for the Advanced Nursing Student.

I recieved this book in excellent condition. The condition the add stated it was, was how I received it. I have not used the book yet for I don't start my class until 2/5/07 but in just reviewing it it appears to be a very good learning tool.

The book is a little pricey but well worth the investment. It really covers everything you need to prescribe safely and effectively. It is one of the few books that I have seen that includes cultrual and ethnic influences, nutrition therapy, complementary medicine, and OTC's all together. It also reviews drugs by body system, age category, gender and multidrug therapy. This book allows you to get all your information in one place. It also covers legal and professional issues and prescribing unique to the Nurse Practitioner role. It has lots of tables packed with information and even comes with a CD-ROM. A great book for the student NP, newly practicing NP or even the experienced NP. I highly recommend this book.
