Great Pharmacology Resource for Nurses,
By
This review is from: 2005 Lippincott's Nursing Drug Guide (Paperback)
This is truly an excellent pharmacology resource for nurses. I believe this book surpasses the Nursing Drug Handbook published by Springhouse (which is also an excellent resource). What sets this guide apart from others is the comprehensiveness of the material. I found indications and side effects listed that I was unable to find in other drug guides, thus making this guide indispensible to nurses. I don't enter the clinical setting without hand-carrying this guide.
