Anyone taking Med Math/Math Dosage for Nursing?

[mangopeach]

Hey guys, anyone taking this course? What book are you using or have you used? Its not a pre-req at my school but they do recommend that you take it. I just finished taking it over the summer and I really wished I had more time to digest the material. I was taking A&P II as well and put all my focus into that. I want to buy a book for med math and learn on my own time. I passed the class, its a pass or fail class that does not figure into your GPA but honestly feel like I did not get enough out of the course because I was so focused on A&P II.

TIA

Thanks DC. Thats the book that was recommended for the course, but I never got it because it was an online class and the prof's instructions were pretty decent. I learned enough to pass the class but I want to get really proficient so I appreciate all your help.

I work as a pharmacy Tech while in school...doesn't pay great but the work is so helpful towards the nursing degree! Pick up this type of job if you have the time....afterall practice makes perfect :)
