I bought this as a gift for my wife who is a nurse.She said that several of her coworkers have this at work to use as a personal reference when the hospital supplied copy is unavailable.She loved it and takes it with her daily.We haven't tried the web toolkit yet so we can't give it a fair rating.For us this was a good purchase.
Rating: - Nursing drug handbook 2009 edition
I work in a crisis department as a Social Worker. We often times have people come in with physical health medication on top of the mental health medication. This book has been very helpful in identifing what they are taking, what it is for, and if it could be related to the issues they are having. Our nursing department has this book in almost every office and they use is all the time. It is a great tool for the medical and non medical staff.

It is a very useful book for everyday practice in Nursing. It allows nurses to have updated information in a rapidly growing area (web toolkit). The scope of the book trascends borders and it is a valuable tool for profesionals working outside the U.S.
