"Shihab draws on her 25 years of teaching experience to provide a text devoted specifically to competency in the often-dreaded area of maths for student nurses." - THES, Feb 2010 

"MyMathLab is really good. I especially like the common clinical measurements and physiological measurement questions because I can really relate them to practice. I even take the book to practice with me because it is such an easy read for me as I have never worked in healthcare before. I feel like I have learnt a lot from the book."-Wayne Fleming, Nursing Student, Manchester Metropolitan University
