Great edition for my nursing school book collection! Probably the only book I will keep when I am done with school too. Great for refrencing all the different drugs on the market. Really organized and well laid out.

This is one of the best drug handbooks I've owned! I love it, it's informative and it's easy to look up the drugs, side effects, and nursing considerations. This book is phenomenal and I would recommend it to everyone!

Lots of useful information and extremely easy to navigate this text. Has all he required information I need. Only 4 stars because I haven't completely used all the material yet.

l like this Nursing Drug Handbook; however I thought that some drugs that have been out for more than 10 years would have been in it; but that wasn't the case.

some basic thyroid meds are not even in here??? I had the 2007 version and it had them...

Just what I was looking for!
