Make sure the one you choose includes IV drugs. I know Davis does, not sure about Mosby.

If you can get an electronic version you're ahead of the game because by the time a drug book is printed it's already out of date. Micromedix and Epocrates are electronic and free. On my Android phone I've also got a free OB wheel, calculators, and several other references I use in the ER.

I also prefer Davis. I have it on my phone, use it daily.

I agree with everyone else, I find Davis to be easier to read with the information I need to know.

But question: Your work doesn't provide a drug book for you? we have numerous drug books on our floor and any floor I have ever been on.

Davis...used it on my PDA. Many employers do not provide a drug book or stethescopes, etc. They are our professional tools.

That's just odd. We have drug books and other reference books on my floor. Plus, the ever handy Micromedex.

Davis. I like the way it's arranged.

Epocrates, Medscape and Davis on my phone. Work provide the BNF (British National Formulary) but it's handy to have your own.

yes...but many of us do not work on a "floor".
