The underlined side effects are the most common ones, and the red ones are the life threatening side effects in the Davis Drug Guide, Sheila Sheila. It may differ from drug guide to drug guide, but this is true for the Davis Drug Guide.

Don't you think nursing central is just as good as the drug guide since it's included in the app? Or...just get the book? Thoughts?

I always brought that book with me to clinical, so it made it super easy to go through it and find what I needed! I highly recommend it!

[@caribaez5711]

I am a nurse assistant but I don’t ask questions to the charge nurse though where I work at. I noticed patients symptoms and how you need to reposition them constantly in the bed. I feel the place where I work at is a good place. Watching videos like this one make me want to be a registered nurse. I have some passion I don’t know where is coming from. I want to apply to respiratory therapy program but I feel I am giving up on Nursing since I started this a long time. I have a passion for nursing but I am not sure where is coming from. I need to study for the teas and I haven’t started it. I need to apply this fall 2020 to the program.
