The best nursing drug guide

This Davis’s Nursing Guide is so helpful. It has all the drugs listed that I searched for and each drug topic has detailed information, built in drug calculators, nursing implications, etc.. I have a couple of other Nursing apps from Skyscape including IV Medications by Gahart and a Lab Diagnosis app and all very useful! Love the format and ease of use too!
