Worth the Download.

I used this app all throughout nursing school for drug cards and care plans. Having all of these books continually updated and in my pocket is so helpful. I find myself everyday opening the app to research medications, diagnoses, and treatments. I will continue to use this app through the rest of my education and my career.

Tricks you to try to get you to subscribe

Was provided to our class in nursing school. After 4-5 years of using it, it shuts off unless you pay an annual subscription

As a nursing student that had been through an LPN program without Nursing Central, and is now using Nursing Central in an ADN program, I can say that this program is incredible. This gives you, not only understandable knowledge, but the confidence and peace of mind knowing that it is scholarly/peer reviewed content. Not to mention, easy to navigate, helpful with tools like notecards and a work cited generator. Unbelievable. This program will be so integral for my nursing education.

Not supposed to expire

We were told in nursing school that this will never expire and we never lose access to it. That it was lifetime. I’ve talked to other students in my class and they said the same thing.
