Nurse's Drug Handbook

I bought this because I’m going through nursing school and thought it would be a good resource. This book doesn’t have a lot of the medications we encounter in school. An even bigger concern is the medications they do have are listed with the same side effects. You can’t determine what side effects some medications have because they list all of the same stuff for each drug. When you leave a bad review all that’s asked is “can you send us a message with what we can improve on?” even if it’s in the review. This app is hardly updated. I don’t recommend this app for those going through school.

I did a free trial and ended up subscribing because I am in nursing school, and it worked great for me when I used it to look up meds for my Pharm class, but when I got to clinicals, I noticed so many meds were missing. Almost every other med I would try to search for wouldn’t pop up, brand and generic names. I was trying to avoid spending a ton of money on a drug book (I’m poor, okay, nursing school is expensive, lol), so I paid the $25 for the subscription.. yes I know that’s not a lot, but now I still need to spend money on a drug book lol. Oh well, I will still be using it for the meds it does have because it happens to have a good layout and good info.

Idk why all of the negative reviews. Almost 10 months and I use this app pretty regularly. Some newer drugs don’t show up but that’s not a deal breaker for me. A more modern or “prettier” UI would be nice to see sometime soon. Overall this app compliments epocrates and medscape, and sometimes I find myself going to this first before anything else when looking for info
