User reviews

Best for ATI Students , Preferred over Davis Drug app

I’m in school and really want to know everything , yet there is an overload of information when you use so many different resources. Therefore, I really appreciate that the NDH app lines of so well with ATI and my nursing school exam exams. It really helps to simplify things.

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to provide a 5-star review. We wish you much success with your classes.

Not updated

This is not the updated one that I have in my physical book for the 2021 year. Unfortunately I’m am graded off of the 2021 information. So I’m unable to use this app. As a practical nurse student I was hopeful that I would be able to have this on me at all times! But guess not.

Limited meds

I am extremely disappointed with this app, I am a nurse in an ob/gyn office and I have yet been able to look up any of the medications we use in this. For the cost of this app I should not have that issue, ridiculous
