Customer Reviews

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED OVER THE LATEST REVISION...

Most important to know: the most recent revision of this book is missing many pages so definitely buy this one and not the newest! I was required to purchase this book for nursing school and never used it much. But oh as a nurse now I carry this with me in my pocket always. Patient's ask about meds often, especially on new orders and there's not always enough time to look up each med and remember all the important info on what a patient MIGHT ask. So this book is a very valuable tool. When asked by a patient about a medication I can say what I DO know and then I can look up anything else that I am not sure of so this book saves me steps and time and I've never had a negative patient comment about me looking up the info in front of them. Also it is very professional to be prepared to answer a question WHEN it is asked and NOT to have to leave to look it up and then possibly get distracted by another patient or another higher (more critical) priority and forget to get back with the patient with the medication question! I'd recommend this to ANY and ALL nurses to carry along with them in their pocket. It's so handy, small and lightweight--just what the doctor ordered! Soar!

excellence med cart resource

I keep this little book on my med cart. It has just enough information for me when I am not sure of a drug or the effects. One of my co-workers liked it so much she bought one too.
