Nursing Dictionary
This app has helped me get through nursing school. I use it all the time!!loloistre
10 years out of date
There are at least 3 major issues with this app.
1) It is incomplete, missing many medical terms. Google is a better app!
2) It is unnecessarily difficult to use. For example, if one searches “wound care”, instead of being directed to a definition of wound care, one is taken to a list of every type of care. Then one has to scroll and scroll and scroll to get to the very bottom of a very long list of types of care.
3) It is woefully out of date. I came across one entry (fibromyalgia) that hadn’t been updated since 2009. This was immediately evident because the diagnostic criteria for this syndrome changed in 2010. Thus anyone using the app will be misinformedShow lessLaura1324

Thank you for your feedback. It is possible that our source will update their entry in the future, in which case we will display the updated information.I must have the wrong app...
I’ve been an RN/NP for 28 yrs. Based on the reviews of this app I downloaded it. I am so disappointed that I can’t get any information or definition on anything unless it is “1st year student basic.” I can get more info from WebMD. I see now there’s an update for purchase, but as bad as the free app was, I’m not buying.Show lessDc1577

We're sorry to hear that. As we are always looking to add new sources, it is possible that the database of terms for this app will be expanded in the future. Also, the update for this app is free to download. The only available purchase for this app is the ad-free upgrade in the app's menu.Wonderful

Gives me Help with pronouncing
I just downloaded the app to help me with medical pronouncing, I am not a native English speaker. The app DOES have an audio pronounce guide. Just click on the tiny speaker beside the name.
The app is supposed to have audio pronouncing of words but I can’t find that function in the app.Pold'E
