What's the Best Nursing Drug Handbook?

[gemini_star]

I am going to take Pharmacology soon. I just want to get the best book. Any good books to recommend?

I am taking pharmacology right now and we use Davis's drug guide for nurses. It is wonderful and has helped me so much.

Thanks for the great responses!

It will be Davis, Mosbys or Springhouse. :)

I like Davis.

Each has their own strengths/drawbacks.

Mosby had a clear drawback in that it did not specify drug class, a big deal when you are learning the classes/making drug cards etc. This is a huge omission, IMO.
