Nurse's Drug Handbook

When I initially looked at this app I didn’t read many reviews. I wish I had because there are reviews on this app saying they are missing drugs from years ago. The developer even replied saying they are working on it. I wasn’t able to find ANY antibiotics I needed to research. This app costs $25 and it seems like I have wasted my money.

It’s so fix

Please update and add OB meds, much appreciated.

Does not have complete list of drugs. The first day I used it I needed to look up a drug. Was not listed in generic or brand name. It’s not reliable

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.

Can I ask why the “Drug Administration” sections that are in the book are not on the app? I wanted to know, because it seems like a vital part new nurses or nursing students should have access to.

An easy to navigate app and full of information. However, I noticed that the newer medications used to treat HC/BV are not included. I suspect that other medications are remiss, too. The HC/BV medications are important as they are prescribed more and more in non-specialty settings. Two thumbs up, but more effort to include more medications is needed!

It used to be easier to search a drug and find all the information. Now it is difficult!

It isn’t bad but it’s missing things like how the drug is supplied. Which is kinda needed for what I’m doing. Also side effects is kinda needed. Especially the most common ones.

Missing common drugs needed for nursing school. There is already a new 2021 handbook published but where are the updates to the app?? If it’s faster to publish and distribute a whole new book then that takes away half of the reason for an app. The only reason for an app is it’s handheld convenience but again, it’s not that convenient if you’re missing common medications.
