Praise for Nursing Drug Handbook!

★★★★★ Nothing like it! The info is available at my fingertips without all of the clicks to somewhere that does not provide the answer.

★★★★★ I have purchased the book every other year for a number of years and it never disappointed. This year, so far, continues that trend. Keep doing what you do! It works well!

★★★★★ I have been a trauma nurse for 23 years. Every year I purchase a new version. It has helped me immensely throughout my career.

★★★★★ Nursing Student's Guide to Success. I bought this just recently for nursing school and it has been an excellent resource for my pharmacology class and SO much more.

★★★★★ More knowledge than I could have ever dreamed of! I'm still in awe of all the knowledge packed into the 1892 pages of Nursing 2021 Drug Handbook. Its much more than I expected. I'm so glad I ordered this book.

★★★★★ I've kept my Nursing Drug Handbook with me on duty and off for decades. It always has just the right information needed to aide practice, avoid errors and bad outcomes; and occasionally back me up when I question practitioner's choices, etc. Love it.

★★★★★ No way to practice in today's nursing world without a great drug reference at your fingertips & available when wifi is not!

★★★★★ I LOVE my Nursing Drug Handbook.
