Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary. So much more than a dictionary. Awesome reference book and small enough to tote in your nursing bag.

tabers! i second the motion!!!

pdr is a waist of time and money!!! get davis drug guide or mosbys...!!!!!

(hint: all that the pdr is is those information papers that one finds in medication containers)

extra curricular reading (a must, mind you!):

echo heron's intensive care: the story of a nurse.

I dont think she meant drug books or medical dictionaries (I'm sure she knows that she needs a drug book) I think she meant like general nursing interventions books...
