Nursing 2008 Drug Handbook, 28th Edition
Date undefinedThis book contains a lot more organized information than other drug guides. It even contains information for the nursing process...such as nursing diagnoses, interventions, and such. Gives you direct needed information, not a lot of un needed nursing information. Great BOOK! I just graduated nursing school and wish I had this one the whole time. Our school required a different one that was not good at all!
Highly recommended!

Nursing 2008 Drug Handbook, 28th Edition
Date undefinedAs a dentist, I need to keep current on many drugs, drug interactions, drug properties, how drugs are dispensed, side-effects, mechanisms of action, and dosing instructions. Before I found this manual, I used the PDR (Physician's Desk Reference), and at about 8 pounds a copy, I found it cumbersome, hard to use, and the print was too small. The Nursing Drug Handbook is lightweight, can be tucked into a large coat pocket, or desk drawer, is easy to use, has all the vital information I need, and is relatively inexpensive.
The book is arranged by drug class, (antibiotics, anti-virals, anti-hypertensives, etc). I like this arrangement because it allows me to compare similar drugs in the same class. I also like the index in the back of the book that lists individual drugs alphabetically, so I can have instant access to a particular drug without paging through an entire section.
There is no other drug manual that has the complete information that this book has. There are cheaper manuals, but if you want more than just surface information on a drug, then this is the volume to purchase.
Most highly recommended.
