Review:

"The nursing students need to understand how chemistry will affect them and their patients as practicing nurses. I am not satisfied that our students fully understand the reason we require chemistry. They see it as "just another hoop to jump through." I think this textbook did a wonderful job of pulling the nursing students' interest by showing them the practical side of chemistry."

"The book covers topics in enough detail to satisfy instructional needs yet is liked by students as it gives them the opportunity to get online help, practice concepts, and enjoy special topic coverage."

"The art program is excellent. This text is easy to read due to the enormous amount of illustrations and diagrams."
