Great Book! ( ctw615 )
This is a great book. It is very easy to find the drugs you need. I highly recommend it to my nursing students and carry one with me when I take them to clinical so I can be up to date on the information also.

At arm's reach
I'm a pharmacist, and I keep this book at arm's reach for quick reference. I use it to check administration details, and my nurse friends are always referring to their copy. It's a good, well rounded resource for the ER or the med-surg setting. My old copy is going to a nursing student for study and reference.

2007 Intravenous Medications: A Handbook for Nurses and Health Professionals (Intravenous Medications)
this is an excellent book. I'm a nursing student and it has up to date meds that we need to know for school and the books at school don't have. It also has the best information on the medications that I've seen in any of our school books
