Best IV nursing book

I've been a nurse almost 28 years and I remember using this book in nursing school. This gives you the information you need to give the drug, what it's for, precautions, how to dilute it, and how fast to give it! WOW a practical and useful book how novel :) !

THE book for drug information on IV drugs

While everyone runs around with palm pilots and PDA's this book presents in one volume information that is truly a pharmacists life jacket.

2010 Intravenous Medications: A Handbook for Nurse...

Turns out to be just another book the college made us buy to raise revenue. Ive yet to look at it or need it as most of the other drug books explains medication infusion rates- sides and such. It might be a great book but i have no time to look at books that wont help me pass the test I'm involved with now.
