Drug guide --- Mosby's vs. Davis's?

Published

I've read good things about both ... which one is better? Or are they both very good? I want to make sure I buy the right one. Just starting nursing school and feeling overwhelmed (but excited!!). Thanks in advance!! :)

I have Mosby's 2007 edition.. It looks pretty good to me. We havn't started using it yet though.

If you hear good things about both, and your school doesn't have a preference, then I'd go with the less expensive one.

I have both and really like Davis's better. I think it is better organized and more information. My school has switched to using DAvis's as the required drug book.

Good Luck

I perfer Davis's hands down....We were required to buy Mosby's in school after looking for meds & detailed info & not finding it, I purchased Davis....never had a problem again!

We use Davis's, but were allowed to buy either...since I'm new to this stuff, I couldn't tell you which is "better". This seems okay so far and is easy to find what it looks like we'll need for drug card info.

Good luck!
