Book Reviews of Davis's Drug Guide for Nurses, with CD-ROM (Davis's Drug Guide for Nurses (W/CD))
Book Review: The accompanying software is priceless
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book as an essential accompaniment to my pharmacology class. Having to do case studies I needed to look up a number of drugs, but it wasn't the book I used, it was the the PC software that came with it. You can look up by drug name or category and 'boom'...in seconds there's your drug with all the exact same information laid out for you. In fact its laid out exactly like the book, which makes me think they're probably PDF files, but it opens inside the program, not Adobe Reader.
The information can even be copy and pasted, making some reports MUCH faster without concern of typos. Also of great importance is that in addition to the PC software it also can be run on a PDA (separate software included)! So you're getting a lot for your money. Can't recommend it enough.
