2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing overall, September 6, 1999

This review is from: PDR Nurses Handbook CD-ROM 1999 Edition (CD-ROM)

I had been unimpressed with the computer disks enclosed in earlier editions of several publisher's drug books, but I had liked the Delmar PDR handbook in '98. It seemed worth a chance that this CD edition would be closer to what I needed to make customized medication information printouts for my patients. It was closer, but not by much. The program is ok, but the number of drugs covered is very limited and the whole thing is evidently for the nursing student rather than working professionals.
