This book is great. I can carry it in my pocket all 12 hrs. of my shift. Perfect for looking up medications quick and also helps with charting pt's. medications list for quick look up for spelling. After getting this book many of my co-workers bought one. Looking forward for the 2010 editon at the end of the year.

This review is from: NURSES POCKET DRUG GUIDE 2009 (Paperback)

This will be my 2nd copy of this book. It is an excellent resource considering it actually does FIT IN YOUR POCKET. I can not speak to the Kindle version but, I wore out my first book from use and always found the essential info on what I needed.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: NURSES POCKET DRUG GUIDE 2009 (Nurse's Pocket Drug Guide) (Kindle Edition)

I am a CRNA and I too have downloaded this book to kindle. This book may be useful in paper but on Kindle it is useless. The index lists only names, no page numbers and the names are not linked to drug pages so unless you know in advance where the drug is listed in the book you must do a page by page search. When I find the drug, it tells little about contraindications or drug interactions.
