2006 PDR Nurse's Drug Handbook (Pdr Nurse's Drug Handbook)

I don't like it - I work in critical care and it fails to list the intravenous drug compatibilities that Nursing 2004 Drug Reference has. IN critical care IV drug compatibilities are so important! So, I'm still relying on my Nursing 2004 book at work. Will not buy this book again - wasted my money - Janet

This resource is so workable...I have no trouble finding any Medication that I need to follow up on for my job...I just received the book only 6 weeks ago and already the pages are all rumpled...I have a new "Buddy" at my job that answers all my questions with out making me wait!

Two of the few drugs that I ever needed to look up are not even in this book. Glucagon which is a very common antihypoglycemic for one. The combination antihypertemsive drug Diovan HCT was not even mentioned either. I had to go out and but a second reference to supplement this one.

I use this book daily in my work and consider it a vital part of my analyzing the interaction of prescribed drug use among my clients. I am not a health care professional, but need access to medication descriptions and usages. The "PDR Nurse's Drug Handbook" is easy to use and includes a detailed index that makes it easy to look meds up. The book also lists generic drug names and includes dosages and interaction information. Highly recommend for anybody involved in prescribing or administering drugs.

Very professional and very accutate drugs referencer. Provides you maximum useful information, including nursing considertaions and implications in very readible and compact format. Drugs compatibility table, administration instructions, dosages and many other useful in practice details are all here, in this little, compatible, easy to care book. If you're a nurse and you want to stay updated with pharmacological innovations, get this book, it's worth every cent!
