I am second semester nursing student and purchased this deck as a better option to my Davis Drug Guide. I was disappointed with the Med Deck because it had exactly the same information as my book, but spread out over 2 or 3 large cards (front and back). The deck doesn't come with tabs so it made it hard to find the drug cards quickly. The plastic sleeve can barely hold 2 cards and I found that a single drug can have up to 3 cards. I discovered that free apps like Micromedex or Medscape are better, more efficient options to looking up drugs while doing clinicals.
I really like these, it seems like I read a review that labor and deliver drug was not included, but it was in mine. Many of the drugs just need to be looked up in the index for what they might be listed under. They've been very helpful so far especially doing my clinical papers.
I'm a first year nursing student, and I always make sure that these cards are available for each clinical. They came with a plastic sleeve to place the cards you need in your pocket for rounds, which makes them awesome. The box could have been just a little wider for ease of getting the cards out, but the box is durable.I have the Davis drug guide, which is a great book. The cards are convenient to take out, place in the handy sleeve and go on rounds.
The med deck is just what I needed as far as good compilation of meds. I wish the cards were printed on heavier paper as they won't take much usage. I am a nursing student and need to carry them with me and to laminate them would be twice the cost.
