140 Must Know Meds: Demolish Nursing Pharmacology (Nursing Clinical Essentials)

I've been a nurse for years and this book is a great refresher and tool to look up medications that you might not always use everyday, but are common medications used in the medical field. It's written and laid out so you can find the medication you need in a hurry. I learn much better when I have a book/material in my hands instead of reading it on a computer and/or having to research it online. A coworker of mine recommended this to me and after looking at her copy, decided to buy a copy for myself.

I found this book incredibly helpful in breaking down the various medications we are required to learn. The book provides clear explanations and mnemonic devices to help with memorization. Overall, I highly recommend this book to any nursing student or healthcare professional looking to improve their understanding of pharmacology.

I am a nursing instructor, and I LOVE this book for my first-semester student's introduction to pharm. I have even bought second-hand copies for students to borrow. I use the book for prizes and recognizing students' extra effort.

Awesome book. Concise but contains all of the necessary nursing implications. Meds are listed alphabetically by the generic name and include the trade name directly under that. This makes it easy to look up your drug. My ONLY complaint is that the print is soooo small or I would have given it five stars. Jon Haws RN, CCRNEXAMCCRN knows his stuff and is a great teacher. Check out his website for memes and other charts or teaching material at nursing.com.

It's a great intro to many drugs, but it doesn't tell you a lot about contraindications or details about drug-food etc. interactions. There are some drug-drug interaction details. Good way to become familiar with drugs at an intro level.

I'm RN working in a hospital; This is a book that does not contain many info but gives me a Guideline. That way I can study from there. Don't expect that you only read this one and you get everything. you need to STUDY with the info this little cute one has in it. Thank you.

It gives good information, but no doses were written in so not a good choice for a nurse practitioner student.

I like that there was an answer sheet. The answers were located in the back of the book and included the rational also I like that the book covered all the areas of medical surgical systems of the body. Moreover the book provides a good amount of questions.
