Pharmacology and the Nursing Process, 7e (Lilley, Pharmacology and the Nursing Process) - Standalone book

The media could not be loaded.  I’m in my first semester of nursing school and taking a pharmacology course. I mistakingly bought the book in its online version through my school’s bookstore, but quickly realized that I’m just not that type of learner. I need a physical book, with good clean pages that I can annotate, highlight, and mark to my liking.So, with lots of money down the drain (I can’t return the online version because I had used the access code), I decided to search for perhaps an earlier edition of the physical book on amazon. I resigned myself to believing I’d probably end of with a used book with lots of damage, but that it’d be cheaper than getting a book from my school’s bookstore.However! I was pleasantly surprised! I ordered this book for $8 and it’s in absolutely pristine condition! I cannot believe my eyes. To any book-lover or visual-learning student, it’s a dream come true to find a cheap book with all the same important content, with clean pages!! I’ll just leave it at that.I’m extremely pleased with this purchase :)

As a life-long student who's taken about 200 undergraduate and 50 graduate school hours, I can honestly say this is one of the most poorly written texts that I've ever read. It is essentially the common core of nursing pharmacology. Rather than do what makes sense by organizing information in a fashion conducive to learning, the information is organized for inefficient learning. Everything is broken down by ADPIE/Nursing process, in an effort to be more nursey-academicy, rather than to provide a product useful to students. Rather than having information about a medication in one location in a chapter, it is spread all over the place. Instead of going to one or two pages to make a notecard, you may have to go to 13 different pages and manually (in a time-exhaustive fashion) search for the medication name or class being casually mentioned. If you are in a school that has easy exams, this is not a big deal. If you are in a school where that one sentence mentioned casually (under the description of a different medication, of all places - why is there information on medication X under Medication Y, which is not listed under Medication X?) on page 327, 18 pages away from the pages that predominantly talk about the medication in question, then it is a big deal. The book contradicts itself constantly, and lists different information in one section than another. For example, it may list certain characteristics in one area, but in the 6 other areas, the characteristics contradict, replace, or add. List everything in one area! You're producing a product for consumers, and you're not doing them a service by providing one of the most inefficient text books ever written. Get rid of the nursing common core ridiculousness, and actually write your text in a concise, well-organized fashion instead of being a nursing lemming who contributes to.. whatever this thing is that's occurring in nursing schools. I'm not sure what that thing is called, but it's not called, "conducive to learning efficiently."

Great book for nursing school. Really helped out when we were rushed through material I still have it and use as a reference

Thanks< Super!!!

got it for my daughter who is attending nursing school at Collage of the Redwoods.

Great book and great condition for being used. Had some highlights marked in it that made it easier to see the important stuff and it made me more comfortable marking my own notes in the book knowing that it has already been used.

clear, concise and to the point. Linda did a good job. So helpful for students, at least for me. I really love it and no regrets borrowing this book. I should have bought it to keep it to myself it will never "age" the information cannot change and ACE inhibitor is an ACE inhibitor so we may get more info with new meds but for the common ones, she broke it down so nicely. Really helpful.

Purchased for a Nursing student foe a class. It was a requirement for the course. Good information. We were not disappointed. However, I do believe there is now a later edition, so I would make sure you are getting the edition your student needs (DOUBLE check the syllabus).
