Caution-This is a textbook requiring access to an Elsevier website, it is NOT a straightforward PDR type drug guide. I bought this assuming I could quickly look up most common prescriptions. Nope. I tried to find Meloxicam, a common NSAID. Nope, not in the book. I called an 800 number, told to go to their site, register, log in and search for meloxicam there. I suggested I didn't need to buy the book if I had to go to the net, I could skip buying the book and just search the web for a drug.. Evidently this is actually a nursing textbook and involved somehow with an online learning thing. SO if you want a comprehensive PDR buy something else...
This is my second drug book for nursing, as a nursing student it is absolutely imperative that you have a drug book for clinicals. this is by far the best drug book I've seen, I especially like how user friendly it is! the only thing is i wish it was larger text font/ a larger book in general, i wasn't aware it would be pocket sized
As a retired nurse I keep up with the latest nursing publications. Can't let the brain get rusty. This is one of the best handbooks to own.
Great reference, came in on time, no issues with materials received.
A valuable printed resource with current Rx information.
