Worst thing for I-PadAugust 22, 2010 Grannie I thought that this would be faster to look up meeds at work, but if you don't know the generic name, you can't find it. It would be helpful if the index had the page number of where to go to. I have used the search but it takes so long to find anything.

Fantastic Drug GuideAugust 9, 2010 Dwayne This is a great drug guide for nurses. All my instructors and nurses I worked with in the hospitals recommended it. It is excellent for nursing students as well. Very well laid out and easy to use.
2010 Davis Drug GuideJuly 26, 2010 dale cook(KINGSLAND, TX, US) The updated print copy is great, the CD however is lacking compared to the "Old" CD, there seem to be common missing drugs from the database, when you register the CD it has more content, I'm a home health RN
