    congradulations on your start of nursing school. Don't listen to anyone with war stories. Nursing school is a wonderful, and challenging experience. I loved it and did it with 3 kids. As far as the books go I am a lippincott and taber lover but it is true they are a lot a like.

    Hi Congratulations on starting. I just completed my first semester and I went through 3 drug guides before I settled on Davis. As far as the medical dictionary I SWEAR by Mosby that you listed. It is like an encyclopedia and there were times when I found info ONLY in that book. Good luck with your journey. I have 3 kids of my own. (12, 9, and 8).
