Best purchase ever

I’ve been a licensed nurse for going on 8 years now and I’ve been using this app since my first year. It breaks things down from the perspective of nurses and focuses on things you need to know to assess and teach as well as allows you to look up anything you can think of (medically speaking). I can watch videos of procedures or find a good careplan goal or intervention. It gets confusing just using Google or other apps that aren’t backed by credible sources. This takes away any question.

GREAT … but,

I love this app. I use it day-to-day at work as an ICU nurse. I often find myself pulling it out for self-reference, plus in conversations with providers. In these conversations with providers they’re often like “WAIT - what is that!?” Doctors & nurses alike are often so impressed with the wealth of information in this app ,, BUT as an ICU nurse I’m often Y-siting meds into a patient with limited vascular access ..

With that ^ I often use the Y-site compatibility section that I’ve newly found to be included. My one stipulation with the Y-site compatibility, or one feature I would suggest is having a section of Davis’ Drug Guide solely devoted to Y-site compatibility. It would be wonderful for it to have its own section where you can enter multiple IV drugs that the patient is receiving to see the compatibility off all the infusions you’re due to run.

I hardly ever use the reference texts offered by my facility, as I’ve got all the reference text I need right in my pocket with this app .. the Y-site compatibility program that my facility uses is the only reference text I use that isn’t this app!!! I love this app so much & am often finding myself recommending it to peers. 4 stars ONLY because the work flow of the Y-site compatibility program on the app could be improved. :)

Yearly subscription - Would not Recommend

When I originally downloaded the app I was charged $180 and I though it was all inclusive and not based on yearly subscription. It never mentioned a yearly subscription it appeared to be a onetime charge. But it came back to using it after a while. And now only some disease process and medications show up. With a OUTDATED highlighted in red. It’s a scam that I have to pay an outrageous amount of money yearly to use this tool. Save your $$ and a buy a textbook instead. Or a different app that doesn’t charge you an outrageous amount.

We advertise our subscription products during the onboarding slides, as well as the sign in screen "purchase subscription". We offer a free preview for customers to get a better idea of the app before they decide to buy. If you decide not to renew after a year, the app remains on the last device to which it was installed when it expired. However, expired accounts no longer receive content updates, access to the website, or the ability to transfer it to a new device. Our Support Team is happy to answer any other questions you may have: Phone 610-627-9090 or Email: support@unboundmedicine.com

Nursing student with new phone and can’t transfer the app

I loved this app until I got a new phone. I was able to transfer over all my other apps, but for whatever reason this one isn’t allowed. It’s funny because it’s the only app I’ve ever paid over $200 for!!!! I’m very disappointed…

Great resource

I refer to this resource often and find it very useful

This app has been amazing. Every time I delete an answer I search the continent and I find detailed information that helps provide exceptional patient care. This is a great app use for school and work.

A gem for nursing students!

I was carrying so many books for reference to my clinical site. This app allowed me to drop all the reference books and use my phone. The ability to type in the search field instead of flipping thru and tagging multiple references is such a valuable time saver. It helps while I’m compiling my care plan for the week.

Additionally, with the one purchase (and a few add-ons specific for a student) I was able to have this on my iPhone, iPad, iMac, and MacBook!
