Summary: In a sea of medications, this is your compass!
Review: A very handy little book that could fit in the pocket of a lab jacket if you shoved it in a bit. The best thing I liked about it was that the medications were listed alphabetically, just like a dictionary. In other words, if you want info about a med, you can look it up quite easily. For experienced nurses or the young uns' just outta nursing school, I say check it out. Also recommended "The No-Beach, No-Zone, No-Nonsense Weight Loss Plan, A Pocket Guide To What Works."

Summary: A Great Reference for non- Nurses
Review: As a home health care therapist, I have been searching for a drug reference book that was easy to use and provided good information I could share with my patients. After reviewing several options, Davis' book meet my needs perfectly. I have given it to my staff for comment and it was so well received that today I am ordering 10 copies for our department.

Summary: I like the fact that this book includes IV administration .
Review: As a nurse I choose Davis' Drug Guide because it has all the information I am looking for. I especially like the fact that it includes IV administration information and I don't need to buy another book with that information in it. This is the 3rd edition I have purchased.

Summary: Great Drug Guide!
Review: I am a 3rd semester nursing student and I absolutely love this drug guide. I have used others before, but this one is the best. It has the best IV drug administration info. It has side effects listed as the most life threatening in bold, and the most frequent in underlines. That makes it easy to wade through all of the possible side effects to the most likely and the most threatening that you may need to know for patient care and, of course, when getting quized by clinical instructors :) When my friends can't find a drug or a detail about administration they always ask for my book or my PDA (i have this version on my PDA also). This is the best drug book I have seen; it also has nursing diagnoses and great patient teaching instructions.

Summary: An Excellent Reference for Paramedics
Review: I am an Instructor of initial Paramedic programs for East Carolina University in Greenville North Carolina. This is the best reference that I have found. This text contains information not found in many similar references such as the half life of a drug and duration of onset. This information is of particular interest to the Paramedic. The individual drugs are easy to locate and the language is precise and free of the useless clutter found in many drug references.

Summary: This is the only drug book you will need
Review: I have bought four different drug books since I began nursing school ...I sold the other three after I started using this one.
The disc is great for finding information for clinicals....and plan on keeping it after I graduate....well done!

Summary: Most useful Nursing Drug Book Available
Review: I have found this to be the most useful drug book on the market. The doctors at the hospital prefer to use my Davis' over the PDR. It's a quicker to find the pertinant info on any type of dosage for every type of patient.

Summary: The best drug guide!
Review: I have used all the drug guides and this one is the most complete and easiest to use out of all of them. It is a little bigger than the others but it makes up with it with more simple language and more complete info. Along with the Taber's this book is a must for every nurse.
