Mosby's 2009 Nursing Drug Cards

I am a nursing student and found them very useful instead of writing each separate drug and the specifics on each one. Very helpful

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Mosby's 2009 Nursing Drug Cards
These cards are a great resource if you are in nursing school and have to make the dreaded med sheets. The included disk lets you print the cards, also. Much easier than having to cut and paste. One thing: Some drugs are not included in the general list but in a sub-category organized by classification. Not a biggie once you find the categories.
