I use mosby's for nursing students. I like how it is very colorful and it has a little bit more than standard nursing drug books. You can also buy it on your mobile devices, but I will caution you against using it on the vitalsource bookshelf app unless you're already using it for textbooks. That app sucks a lot, and they're improving it way too slowly.

Our cohort was required to purchase the Davis Drug guide. I like it. Its very cut and dry and to the point, but everything I need to know about the drugs is in there and each drug has various sections for the various info. It's been helping me a lot.

We use Pearson's Drug Guide 2014, I really like it, even a layperson could use it! :)

My program uses the Davis Drug Guide. Many of the facilities use Lexicomp for their online lookup. Personally, of the two online guides, I prefer the layout of Davis. Lexicomp is usable and very up to date though not all that user friendly, at least in my opinion.

I use Davis for my drug book and Mosby's (Pagana & Pagana) for my lab values book.

I use Davis for both...also got a free 1 year online subscription with my book purchase which was nice.
