Our school offered Davis and we all hated it. I forked over money for Lippencott. It has a CD as well with drug info. I like the layout better and the other thing it has that Davis does not is IV administration info. (Compatibilities, How rapidly it can be administered, etc.) I would go to the bookstore and check out the two and see which one you can pull the info required from the fastest and most thoroughly.

Do the IV compatibilities come in a chart you can carry with you or are they throughout this particular book? I am looking for a pocket guide of IV drugs.
