So Helpful
I love that it's compact because I can fit it right in my pocketbook and look over medications as much as I want to.

Don't Bother
Maybe it's just my nursing program, but this was a complete waste of money. It was a required book, yet 4 months later we still haven't used it. There's really not much info in it. Stick with the Davis Drug Guide. It's a much better resource.
