Hi Everyone
My name is Denise, I start my nursing clincials in Sept. WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I am 29 and have 2 kids Rachel is 5, Matthew is 2, I started my pre reqs back in 2001 so this has been a long road but I am finally starting clincials:0)
Here are my questions, I need to purchse a Drug guide and Medical dictionary. I have 3 choices for each, can anyone recommmend one over the others?
Drug guides
Davis Drug guide for nurses
Lippincott Drug Handbook
Saunder's Nursing Drug Handbook
Medical Dictionaries
Stedman's concise medical dictionary with audio CD
Taber's cyclopedic Medical dictionary
Mosby Medical Nursing and Allied Healthy Dictionary
Thanks for any and all advice
I have Davis' drug guide and Tabers is excellent. They are both requirements for our school but they are both very informative and helpful. I also purchased drug cards. We had the choice to make them or buy them. I didn't want to make a 1000 of them especially since they are only 40 dollars and I highlight the info needed. Good luck to you. BTW I just finished the first semester of LPN school with 3 B's and 2 A's. Nancy

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).
