I was wondering if anyone knew whether a drug book specifically for ICU for clinical rotation is a good idea? I already had ordered it, but silly Amazon canceled the order for whatever reason, so now I am debating should I spend the extra money. It is not a required book, only recommended, as we already have another drug guide. Are there any particular drugs that may not be included in a regular drug manual that would make buying this book a good investment? Just trying to control my costs here; I'm always debating on "Recommended" textbooks.
It's this book in particular: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0323031676
I already have this book: http://www.amazon.com/Daviss-Drug-Guide-Nurses-CD-ROM/dp/0803619111/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1306278431&sr=1-1

I always go with the idea that you can never have too many books.
Some are more helpful than others in any given situation.
If it will not cause you a financial hardship, why not get it?
It certainly can't hurt.
