 Bent pages September 30, 2008
The book was in pretty good shape except for about 30 folded pages. Not a huge deal but would rather not have that happen.
Prentice Hall nurse's Drug Guide 2009 September 21, 2008
We have just begun to use this book in nursing school as I pursue my BSN this time around and hopefully can pursue becoming a Nurse Midwife someday in the near future,so it is hard to give a review but is seems to have very good detailed to the point information for the health care provider that needs to access when they looking up a patient's medication.It has listed what indications or contraindications there would be for the medications, side effects to be concerned with as well as the dosing and forms that are available for it also.Medications keep changing and it is important to get an updated version of a drug guide to stay current with these changes and additions with medications. A handy little tool for any health care professional.
 Excellent Resource! June 7, 2008

I have an older version of this book and love it but it was time for an upgrade! As a professional, this book provides indepth need-to-know information that helps me with my patients' concerns. Any time a patient asks me something about their meds, this is the book I grab to find the answer! I definetly recommend it!
