Guest guest Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 Hi , I have a nursing drug guide and several pharmacy drug guides. I find that the nursing guide is written in simple easy to understand language but the information is very basic. For a more comprehensive understanding I prefer the Drug Information Handbook. -- To love what you do and feel that it matters - how could anything be more fun? -- Graham .. . . for my heart rejoiced in all my labour . . . Ecclesiastes 2:10 -------------- Original message -------------- Hello Everyone, I am currently taking a night class, at a local college, for Pharmacy Technician. I should be sitting for the Cert. Test next March 2005. My question: Would it be worth purchasing a Drug reference guide such as " Mosby's Nurses Drug Guide " or " Nurses Drug Guide " ... and if so what would you recommend? I have enjoyed reading all the posts and have learned alot. Have a Great Day! Thank you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 Dear , I would have to agree with , in that the Nurses Guidebooks are easy to understand. However allow me to add that unfortunately there are too MANY errors in those nurse books! and it is scary! I have many students who use them. But they ALWAYS find errors. All books have errors. That is to be expected. But for some reason I find more in the nuring guidebooks than the pharmacy resource books. For a bit more I would purchase either a hardback Facts and Comparison on EBAY for about 60 dollars that usually sells for about $395 from the mfg AND Drug Information Handbook from Lippincott. OR I would purchase a Facts and Comparison 'papterback' for about $70 which is not as complete as the hardback F & C, but much more portable and lighter weight!! Now the above books are reference books only. If you are looking for text books then that is another matter. Hope this helps you out, Respectfully, Jeanetta Mastron CPhT BSChem Pharm Tech Educator cphtgenius@... wrote: Hi , I have a nursing drug guide and several pharmacy drug guides.
