  • Quick Same Day PDF Delivery

    I ordered this book for nursing school and to get it through my school it was $80 for the electronic version. Nursing school is expensive as is with uniforms and book bundles. This was the cheapest pdf/electronic book I could find on the internet and have it not be a rental. Very quick same day message with downloadable link for the book and is a legitimate copy of the book.

  • Excellent text

    I used this text for an LPN program, and found it to be straightforward and quite easy to understand. I’m using it to review for an RN program, and still find it to be an excellent resource. You can teach yourself with this book if your instructor isn’t so good.
