Reviews for Davis’s Drug Guide for Nurses, 15th Edition:

Invaluable. “This… resource has been invaluable for my clinicals and pharm class.”—CJ Bob

Perfect for a nursing student. “I feel that I didn’t need my pharmacology book, and could have just used this. It’s organized and comprehensive, and for each drug has nursing implications with assessments, “potential” nursing diagnoses, teaching, and evaluations.”—Amazon Reviewer

This is your book. “If you want to know about drugs, this is your book. Very thorough and helpful with my nursing classes.”—Michael Grewing.

Use this every day! “The most helpful book ever created for Pharmacology! I use this every single day!”—C. Kelly

A Must-Have. “An absolute must have. Great Book.—Rocco DeMario

Hands down the best drug guide. “I am very pleased with this drug guide. I am in nursing school and this is the best drug guide hands down. I used other brands and I feel this is more organized and better to understand.”—Carolina Cruz
