Customer Reviews

Great book for Emergency Room nurses.

This book is great. I can carry it in my pocket all 12 hrs. of my shift. Perfect for looking up medications quick and also helps with charting pt's. medications list for quick look up for spelling. After getting this book many of my co-workers bought one. Looking forward for the 2010 editon at the end of the year.

good service

this book is very helpful. Not only it's cheap, it gives all the information you need. What i like the most about this book is that both the generic and trade name are included. I also received it in good condition.

Actually fits in your pocket

This will be my 2nd copy of this book. It is an excellent resource considering it actually does FIT IN YOUR POCKET. I can not speak to the Kindle version but, I wore out my first book from use and always found the essential info on what I needed.

Great Reference

As a paramedic, I reference this book almost daily. I think it provides just the amount of information I need. There is a comprehensive list of drugs by type which is helpful for patients who forget which blood pressure med they are taking. This fits in my pocket well- I don't go to work without it.

Wonderful easy lightweight

I am a home health nurse therefore this pocket drug guide is perfect. I do not have room to carry a full sized book in my bag not to mention the added weight. It is easy to read and understand. The look up is so easy! This is fantastic! I reccomend it to any nurse!
