Real Student Reviews

This book performed a miracle on me. This book only got me a 99.67 on my pharmacology hesi. Im not saying it will get you the same grade, but it definitely helped me understand the questions and rationales a little better. 10/10 would recommend lol.

A must-have for Nursing Pharmacology! I wouldn’t had been able to finish the class without this book & I did receive an A. Great questions with clear and concise rationales. I prefer the FA Davis Success Series to any other NCLEX test prep books out there. well worth the cost.
