No Problems at All

I am happy to report that I had no unexpected problems with ordering and receiving of my book. Thank you for the great service. Look forward to working with you again in the future.

Very Helpul

This is the second book in this series "Incredibly Easy" that I have used. It pulls out important aspects, provides tips on what and how to remember important items. I would recommend this book to anyone who needs help wading through the massive amt. of info in the textbooks. "Incredibly Easy" provides the focus needed to succeed in class. I also used the "Pathosiology Made Easy"; made an "A". Could not have done it without this series.

"Don't Listen To Mr. Know-It-All" GREAT SERIES of Books!

I totally DISAGREE with the inappropriate review from the so-called educated "SNOB" trying to knock the entire series down by labeling prospective buyers as lazy and only looking for quick and easy ways to learn! I personally own seven books from the Incredibly Easy/Visual Series and would HIGHLY recommend all of them. They are wonderful books. I am a visual learner myself and things started clicking for me when I put this series of books together with my text books. If Mr. Las Vegas REALLY has an ADVANCED degree, then why did he purchase a book with this title in the first place? Is he a professor or something and looking for a supplement book for his pupils? I am a nursing student with Adult ADHD/Bipolar Disorder. I also carry a 3.97 GPA and it's NOT EASY by a long-shot. I think if a person can find a book that helps them halfway understand the subject matter better, then power to them! EVERYONE LEARNS DIFFERENTLY at different paces.

Nursing Pharmacology Made Incredibly Easy!

I bought this book because I like the Incredibly Easy! series. I wanted a pharmacology review and this book is great for that. The illustrations help me remember things easier along with key facts written in highlighted boxes. The nursing process is also used for each drug classification and there are good education tips in this book. It was a great purchase.

I disagee with the Advanced degree Snob

The purpose of this series is not to TEACH. It provides a testing tool; practice questions for exam or NCLEX prep. If you want to learn about calcium channel blockers, read your textbook or turn to one of Lippincotts other books. I also recommend Lippincott's Clinical Pharmacology Made Incredibly Easy book. The text my prof used in my pharm class was very poor. But I read it anyway. Then, when I was beginning my prep for each exam, I would read through the Made Incredibly Easy chapters in the drug classes specific to what my exam would cover. Then I would use the software to practice. I found this very helpful with probably THE hardest class a nursing student has to slog through.
