Happy Friday!



I am going to have to purchase a Drug Reference to use when taking the CCDS exam and wanted to see if anyone had any recommendations regarding which book they used for the test and/or which book in general they find most helpful.



Here are the options of the drug reference guides that you are able to use on the test:

1) Mosby's Nursing Drug Reference

2) Nurse's Pocket Drug Guide

3) Physician's Desk Reference

4) PDR Nurse's Drug Handbook

5) Nursing Drug Handbook/Lippincott's





Thanks,

Greta

    The Nurses' Pocket Drug Guide was what we used.
