2010 Intravenous Medications: A Handbook for Nurse... by TOP CAT  3 Stars
November 08, 2009
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.
