I have the Mosby's 2010 drug guide. At my school, I've used a couple of the other ones. From what I've seen, they're all about the same.

I have the Saunders Drug Handbook 2009, which is the one I got for my classes. I've never had a problem with it and I have it as an E Book, so I can search through it on my computer for whatever I need when doing assignments.

my school provided us with a PDA version of of Davis's Drug Guide and i absolutely love it. If you guys are allowed to carry around PDAs you should definitely consider purchasing the nursing central subscription. I'm not sure how much it is but it's super helpful in everything from the drug guide to various diseases.

I agree about Davis. Book or digital. People borrow mine because it has so much more info than theirs. I bought the book with CD and got a free PDA limited version.

I just looked at this one and it looks better than mine. I think I will invest in this one (Mine is from 2009) It looks easier to navigate. :nurse:
