Nursing 2009 Drug Handbook
Well trusted product...have used these drug references over 18years and finally decided I'll never win the free book, don't want to pay the $52 the company wants with shipping and handling, so Amazon is a winner! Book is new condition, like I'd expect from the company.

Nursibg 2009 HandBook
The information in the book was very well organize and easy to review. The book it self was not well put together. The first time I opened the book the binding broke leaving the liklihood that the pages will fall out and be lost.

nursing2009drughandbook
this is the most informative, easiest to understand, drug book on the market. drug names are easily found and the information is exactly what is needed--also lists the most common side effects to watch for.

A drug book that's easy to digest
As a healthcare worker who works in a hospital, I see this book (and its various editions) on just about every floor- whether it be the cardiac floor, neurology floor, or the orthopedic floor. The point is that the scope of this book is so large and complete, that it will be a handy reference to everybody who treats patients, no matter what the diagnosis. So if you're looking for a small, complete drug reference- this is your book. Also recommend The Sixty-Second Motivator for tips on how to increase patient compliancy with taking meds.

Nurses Need This Book
I have carried this book since I became a Nurse in 1995. I update every other year and it is A MUST HAVE for Nurses. A wise investment.
