Work & Home use

I have used this at work, and appreciate the ease in using it, so purchase one for my home as well. It is an excellent resource/reference.

PDR Nurse's Drug Handbook 2009

I prefer this book over the Physician Desk Reference as it also has nursing assessments for a medication. It also has nursing teaching to the patient and the family. Would love to have this for my Kindle, the book is cumberson to carry it around.

Simply Awesome

I ordered this book and Mosby's nursing pdr at the same time after having Mosby's recommended by a professor at college. I was and continue to be impressed with this book. The way it is set up makes it easy to find prescription drugs and it contains a wealth of information. I would highly recommend it
