Drug Guide

U.S.A. Nevada

Published

Hey everyone. I was talking with a 3rd semester CSN RN student and he said that the Mosby drug guide sucks. He recommended the 2009 Prentice Hall drug guide instead because it helps you do the drug cards easier, and helps in clinical. I want to know if the 2011 Pearson (formerly Prentice Hall) or the Davis are better than the Mosby. Anyone have any info on this?

Thanks,

I tried to go through nursing school with my Mosby, and then when I saw the Davis, I dumped my Mosby fast. Davis is a whole other species of drug book and really has what you want to know for your drug cards.

Micromedex is FREE in the app store for apple and it's by Thomson Reuters. It is what a lot of the pharmacists/docs use. Once you get used to the format it is actually an amazing tool compared to (and rivals) some of the apps you pay for.

Yeah I got the Davis, the Mosby, and the Pearson drug guides along with the Mosby Distionary and Taber Dictionary. I have a total of 15 books now. Can't wait to lug them all around for group study sessions.

I'm curious...

A year later, which of the three do you prefer? If you have time, I'd love to know what you feel are the pro's and con's of each. Thanks!

The Pearson. I initially had the 2011, and I just bought the 2012. I love it.
