Great Reference
As a paramedic, I reference this book almost daily. I think it provides just the amount of information I need. There is a comprehensive list of drugs by type which is helpful for patients who forget which blood pressure med they are taking. This fits in my pocket well- I don't go to work without it.

Nurses Pocket Drug Reference 2009
I am a nurse anesthetist and I downloaded this book from the kindle store. When I try to look up a drug byclicking on the table of contents it will not go to the drug i selected, instead it gives me a definition from the dictionary on my kindle? Help

Wonderful easy lightweight
I am a home health nurse therefore this pocket drug guide is perfect. I do not have room to carry a full sized book in my bag not to mention the added weight.
It is easy to read and understand. The look up is so easy!
This is fantastic! I reccomend it to any nurse!

Good content but small font! ( missaigon1fan )
I really found this pocket drug guide helpful. I'm a nursing student and I'm constantly looking up drugs that my patients are on. The only problem I have with the format is that the words are SO small! I'm no senior citizen and I can barely see those itty bitty words on the page! I've also found a lot of drugs missing from the pages--but what can I expect! Its a minaturized version! I'd reccomend this for students doing clinical...but don't make it your bible. You'll need another drug book if you want to get to know these drugs and their interactions for real.
