    I ordered this book at the same time as all the other books and have yet to receive it and it has been over a week past due. The sender does not take responsibility and I would warn from ordering from this person. I have never received the book and sender says it isn’t her responsibility.

  • After reading another review, I discovered a CD may not be part of the book I purchased. This is not good. The CD is part of the learning process and allows the student to assimilate the learnings from the book with the CD information. Also, I paid for 1 day fed. express shipping and the book did not arrive on the date expected.

    I gave it a 2 star just because the lab book was less then I thought it should have been for the price. The book was in great shape, just had few pages with writting on them, but the lab book had several pages filled out in it, I wish the person would have stated that on the page I would not have purchased it for that amount. The price for the lab book too high since information was already written in.

  • Of course this book was required from my course work as I am completing a Bachelors degree in nursing. It would have taken 2 weeks to get this book at Borders Books however, I was presently suprised by Amazon’s rapid availability.
