Customer Reviews

An essential preparation for veterinary nursing examinations
This book was excellent in preparing me for my veterinary nursing examinations, I entered my exams with increased confidence in a subject that prieviously I had been dreading. I believe this is an essential book for any student and indeed any qualified staff who may have become a bit 'rusty' or who finds the maths as hard as I did. The authour explains the principles in a easy to understand way and then gives you a chance to test your understanding in the self assessment questions and worked answers sections which explain the methods step by step. In conclusion this book has changed how I approach calculations in practice.

Essential For all Veterinary Nurse Students
The calculations are clear and easy to understand, this book simplifies the often complicated world of veterinary calculations. The layout is such that the book can easily be read from cover to cover but also used in a hurry to confirm the correct calculations are used in practice. Essential reading for Student Nurses and their trainers and also should be of use to veterinary Students, Higher National Diploma students and other courses with a nursing/materia medica option.
