Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Disappointing overall
Review: I had been unimpressed with the computer disks enclosed in earlier editions of several publisher's drug books, but I had liked the Delmar PDR handbook in '98. It seemed worth a chance that this CD edition would be closer to what I needed to make customized medication information printouts for my patients. It was closer, but not by much. The program is ok, but the number of drugs covered is very limited and the whole thing is evidently for the nursing student rather than working professionals.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An excellent easy to understand resource for nurses
Review: I received the 1999 Nurses PDR book for Christmas. I had heard great things about it, and now I know why. It is very easy to follow and has all the latest drugs. It helped me get through my last semester of nursing school, and now it is helping me in my first year in my nursing profession!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Clear, Concise, and Informative
Review: I received the PDR Nurse's Drug Handbook from my husband for Christmas. As a second-level clinical nursing student, I have referred to it daily for information on the latest drugs, their actions, contraindications, interventions and teaching plans. This book offers information in terms anyone can understand. I would recommend it for nurses and students alike.

Summary: Used Daily
Review: I use this book daily in my work and consider it a vital part of my analyzing the interaction of prescribed drug use among my clients. I am not a health care professional, but need access to medication descriptions and usages. The "PDR Nurse's Drug Handbook" is easy to use and includes a detailed index that makes it easy to look meds up. The book also lists generic drug names and includes dosages and interaction information. Highly recommend for anybody involved in prescribing or administering drugs.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Incomplete. Misssing entries for common drugs.
Review: Two of the few drugs that I ever needed to look up are not even in this book. Glucagon which is a very common antihypoglycemic for one. The combination antihypertemsive drug Diovan HCT was not even mentioned either. I had to go out and but a second reference to supplement this one.

Rating: 5 stars
