Book for Nursing Students

This book is excellent! It contains current medications and has all the related information you need to know (interactions, side effects, dosages etc) to get you through the nursing program. As a potential nursing student, you will need a drug guide, so this is the one to get. Due to the updates of current medications and the addition of new drugs,this book is great for school and probably for the next couple of years but eventually you will need to research updated info. The cool thing is that most of the older medications still used today will not change, due to the years of research, and this book will still remain a reliable resource.

Great price

Book was in good condition and for a very good price. I was very satisfied with my purchase.

Good drug guide

It gives the nursing process for each drug, reasons for using the drug, & etc. The only reason I gave it a 4 out of 5 stars is because of some meds were not listed in the drug guide.

Excellent reference

This is the best medication reference book I have ever used. In the past, I used another drug book but this one, by far, is the best. It has helped me out with my LPN career as well as being an RN student. I highly recommend this book!
