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

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.

Mixed opinions

Doesn’t work the best on iPads, can’t use it in Split View because you are unable to use your favorites tab and other features while in Split View. So makes it difficult for those who take notes on the same device they study from.

Extremely Helpful App!

This app has been infinitely useful throughout nursing school and still to this day as a nurse. Everyone at work was very impressed by this app when I showed them.

Screen flashing

Ever since the last update. The ap flashes every time I look anything up. Once I get to to the last page, the page I need with the info, it flashes blank and goes back to the beginning of the page. This happened quickly. I do not have time to look for anything.

Need to Use My Old Device

I installed this on an older Apple Device, but I got a new one and the app tells me that it is now expired and I have to use it on my old device. I thought that when you bought an app in the App Store, it was yours? This one wasn’t cheap!

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. :)
