Pros and cons of Davis's Drug Guide - Nursing app for iPhone and iPad

Davis's Drug Guide - Nursing app good for

I bought and paid for the full app of the Davis Drug Guide 12th ed., as I am a nursing instructor in a 4 year BSN program and I use it to assist me and my students in giving medications safely in Term 8 of our nursing program.I chose this app because I used to buy the paperback book of the drug guide yearly and using this app has proven to be a better option for nursing students and instructors to carry in their pockets on an iTouch, iPhone. I enjoy products from Unbound Medicine and hope they develop an app for psychiatric mental health nursing soon to include psychopharmacology for use by nursing faculty and nursing students in future.
This is all an RN or nursing student needs as a reference for safely administering medications. I was hesitant about spending so much on an app, but have absolutely no regrets. This reference will make you WANT to look up meds that youre unfamiliar with, making your practice safer and widening your pharmacology knowledge. In seconds you can have all the information that would normally take 5 or 10 minutes to look up... assuming you could find a hard copy of a drug guide on your unit that isnt mangled! This app can go anywhere I need to be and is a widely trusted name in out profession. As a Canadian military RN I could not ask for a more comprehensive bedside reference.
As a students I cant go to clinical without this. Its quick, easy to look up medication on the spot. Approved by all professors and clinical instructors
Was skeptical about the price but worth it! Very thorough and in depth!
It is a wonderfully thought out app. It would be nice however to be able to re-order your favourites in the favourites section... Thank you for including the various calculators!
I have used this drug guide in the field as a paramedic and as a resource when creating a formulary for my students. I appreciate the IPad and mobile friendly format a great deal.

Some bad moments

Scant information, poorly organized, spelling errors, limited info on ophthalmic agents... Very disappointed.
Its free because all the important meds are not included. They try to get $40 out of you. Plenty of good drug apps for free. FA Davis has always been a rip-off!!
Not a good app. Doesnt allow you to see all drugs. Gives you very few options. No point in down loading this crap. Wouldnt even give it a star but I guess I have to in order to submit this sad review.
Love it ;) As a Cardiac nurse I use this app almost daily. I can be sitting with a pt and dont have to leave to retrieve a drug book. My coworker was on the phone and I over heard her talking to a pt about a medication. Before she could look for a drug book I had the medication pulled up and she was relaying information to the pt. This is a must if you are in nursing school!!!!
This is only a preview app and they only show you the good stuff if you pay $25 Dont waste your time
I paid for this but it never kicked in. SECOND TIME. No other problems with my phone, so, you are taking a chance. Lot of money to GIVE AWAY. I need it, but NO MORE.
