Kindle Edition October 20, 2010
By Megvord
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I purchased the kindle edition so that I would have it as a quick reference to all my other nursing textbooks, however, while it has a lot of great info it is not set up so you can search the drugs! It is too hard to flip through the locations to get to the drug you want. The charts and drug classes are easily searchable through the table of contents, but not each drug! GR! I had no idea I couldn't search the drugs within the book or else I wouldn't have purchased it. Wouldn't recommend kindle edition. ... Also you need to know lots of abbreviations to read it.

Not bad February 26, 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Before you buy this book, you need to think of why you need it. I purchased it because I am a student nurse going through clinicals weekly. I have a regular drug book, but I wanted something a little more convenient (and pocket-size) to take with me because sometimes new meds are added after I have made my med cards. So far, this book has had all the last minute meds I've needed to look up. Just remember (like the front cover says...) it only has about 1000 of the MOST POPULAR so there may occasionally be something you need to look up using the internet or a larger drug book. Otherwise, this little book is quite handy.

Helpful and great size. October 16, 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Thought obviously not like having a traditional nurses drug guide...this handy pocket size guide fits in my scrub pocket for quick reference to common drugs. Still stuck if you need to look up something unusual. Such is life anyway.
