My textbook list states that we can buy any current drug reference book. Any recommendations?

Our school requires Pearson... I don't think it really matters... If you have an iPhone or Blackberry you can download a free one from Medscape. Go to medscape.com and check it out.

Every facility I have worked Davis's Drug Guide for Nurses was the gold standard.

Nurse's pocket Drug Guide 2010 is really nice to keep with you. Gives more of the basic information faster.

2010 Intravenous Medications for IV meds of course.

Lexi-comp is the best drug reference I have found. It is also the drug reference recommended by the American Pharmacists Association.

Thanks for that info I have Medscape for the BB but never used it so I logged on and it's great. I have a Davis Drug guide but its optional at my school to use a pda or smartphone drug guide as they don't like a lot of students to bring books to clinicals. I will use this and leave my drug guide at home so now I'll have less things to bring to clinical with me :yeah:.
