Our program recommends either Davis or Mosby. I own Davis but I think both are good.

I personally don't recommend Davis..Our school requires it but we all realized it's not very good.

Re: What's the Best Nursing Drug Handbook?

i personally like Davis. It comes with a CD to download onto your PC. Great to cut and paste info for care plans instead of writing it all out by hand!

Re: What's the Best Nursing Drug Handbook?

Our program made us purchase Davis, and that is also what I see at the hospital at the nurse's stations. It's easy enough to use, but I've never seen any other kind.
