Saunders Nursing Survival Guide: Pharmacology by Linda E. McCuistion, Kathleen Jo Gutierrez Review
I would not say this is a die hard book. But very easy to understand, presents material in a good way. Do not use if for NCLEX prep. This is a book while taking a pharmacology course or through nursing school. I used this the entire time and it was a great resource. Antibiotic chapter is great!
