The Best Little Handbook In Texas June 29, 2009

I have been an ICU nurse for 10 years. This little book has become my bible. It is a quick reference guide not bogged down by "non-nursing stuff". The Compatibility guides are invaluable. I just bought the 3rd edition, donating my dogeared 2nd edition to our "med room" The only criticism I have is that it would be helpful if the author referenced half lifes of the drugs. Other than that this handbook is a gem.

Great book to use in the ICU! It has come in very handy when I have multiple drips to run. It allows me to see compatibilities with other drips and the nursing implications in a nutshell! It is concise and accurate. Thanks!
