Riley:
This little guy is perfect for carrying around at work. It’s called a POCKET drug guide. I don’t know how big all y’all’s pockets are, but if you get much bigger than this, it isn’t going to fit without looking pretty awkward walking around. The text is small but very crisp and legible. If you have trouble reading it, then it’s time for an updated glasses prescription. There is no reason, young or old, you can’t read the print if you are wearing appropriate prescription lenses (it doesn’t count if it’s been more than a few years since you got new glasses!). I have horrifically bad myopia and I can read the print from a foot away. That’s because I’ve gotten updated prescription glasses in the last 2 years. My old prescription wouldn’t have cut it.
If you want something bigger, there are plenty of apps and other hard copy options available, but please don’t buy something that is advertised as a pocket edition with over 4100 drugs included and listed with dimensions of 3x5x0.75” and then complain that you can’t read the text. Let’s use some common sense. You’re probably healthcare employees of some kind and you’ve all been...

Belinda Munoz: I love how this book fits right in my pocket. I have the Davis' Drug Guide book which is too big to carry around in my pockets. I just completed my 1st semester of the ADN program and used this book for clinicals just last week and it did not disappoint. Although I love my Davis Drug Guide, this book came in so much use because of its size. Some reviews complained that it was hard to follow, but I did not have that problem at all. Tons of information packed into this tiny book and definitely worth getting. I even pulled it out to look up a drug for one of the nurses.

sunnysunny: I got this little handy thing for hassle-free drug reference for my second semester of nursing clinicals. I don't know what I'd do without it! I learn so much more during clinicals and am always able to reference drugs to provide good nursing care. I have a big drug book as well, which goes waaaaay more in-depth for care plans and stuff, but this is the true star of my clinical days. So compact and tiny, you don't even notice it in your pocket. I'd recommend it to anyone.

oma sirles: Bought this for my daughter for her upcoming semesters of nursing school! She said it’s very helpful and easy to understand. It’s also manufactured by the same company that her textbooks are so that’s a plus! It’s small (they didn’t lie when they said pocket size! Haha) but it fits easily and conveniently in her scrubs. She’s very pleased which makes me pleased! Would purchase again!

Jaci: This was a great resource to have during nursing school. Easy to reference in class and small enough to keep in my pocket during clinicals. Highly recommend!
