 Great seller but item was not as described. April 13, 2008
Great seller-I needed the book in a hurry and the seller was very accommodating. Unfortunately, the book was described as "Excellent-Like New." This was not the case. The book is in great condition but many of the pages had writing on them. Considering the fact that this is a workbook, it is pretty distracting to see what someone else filled in for the answers. I would have paid more for a book that did not contain writing. This seller needs to consider the definitions on Amazon for their criteria of Like New, etc.

Another ECG book with terrible illustrations of ECG rhythms that are hard to read. They are in black & white and fuzzy! This book is also over-priced! This is also another ECG book that is witten like a childrens book! The only good part of this book is that it has flash-cards on ECG rhthyms and cardiology meds. Please don't waste your money!

This book has everything I needed for nursing, descriptions, illustrations, and summaries of each dysrthymia I could want. I am very pleased. It's the best first book to learn from. Shan B.

This book is great for the first time reader or for those looking for a review of cardiac rhythms. It also gives valuable information on cardiac drugs. The book is very easy to read and follow.
