Terrific news to share-- the recently published 2017 Nurse's Drug Handbook just received a 4-star review. According to Carol E. Agana, MNSc, RNP, APRN, from the University of Arkansas, writing for Doody's Review Service,

"As a reference, this one is excellent and it also serves the purpose of a textbook. What differentiates [it] from other drug references are the nursing considerations and patient teaching points."

We're getting a head start on the new year with the release of 2017 Nurse’s Drug Handbook. Updated annually, it provides accurate and timely facts on hundreds of drugs from A-Z. Written in a no-nonsense style that speaks your language in terms you use every day, it offers concise and consistently formatted drug entries organized alphabetically.
