A great companion to Nurse Prescribing studentsNovember 17, 2007 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought a copy of this book when studying for the nurse prescribing course and find it helpful and useful during and after the course. It was as if the lectures delivered in the class was based on the contents of the book. Very good in revision because it treated the topics in a bullet poit manner but very precise. I found the characters of the word to be too small, a lager characters may be of help with people not using glasses. I would recommend the book to all would be students and practitioners.
Not a hanbook for allMay 16, 2007 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is a general guide to nurse prescribing with concise easy to reach information on all aspects of the foundations of nurse prescribing and would be be invaluable for the the nurses in primary care particularly. It is a reasonable guide for those studying for the qualification (Scottish nurses take note it does not cover Scottish legislation and regulations)and an excellent revision tool but less useful for the specialist in practice. There is one factual mistake in the book raised with the publishers some time ago on the ability of drugs to cross the placental barrier, so I recommend it with some reservation.
