1. [R2] Davis Drug Guide For Nurses 5/5 · US My go too: I’ve been using Davis Drug Guide for nurses since I was in nursing school in 2016. It’s carried me through all my years as a nurse and now going into my years as a nurse practitioner. It’s very helpful easy to use. I recommend it to anybody wherever they are in their career.
2. [R8] Davis Drug Guide For Nurses 5/5 · US The Guide You Need: Almost every medication you might run into is right here at your fingertips. When you don’t have time to rummage through the book or a newer medication isn’t in there, it’s here! The app is simple to use and you can save the medications you run into the most. I use this app every day and I love it! It’s worth the price, I promise!
3. [R20] Davis Drug Guide For Nurses 5/5 · US Nursing school’s dream!!: This is going to help me out so much in my last message from Nursing School!! I wish I would’ve download this along time ago! Thanks for making it so affordable! Sincerely, Nurse in the making Danyesa
4. [R61] epocrates 1/5 · US Not Free Anymore: Used Epocrates for years and always thought it was a great resource. Perfect while I was in pharmacy school and now as a pharmacist. I am extremely disappointed, but frankly not surprised, they now have it behind a paywall. I only looked up a few medications (maybe like 4) and get the pop up that I “reached my free amount of look ups for the week.” For the week? It’s literally th
5. [R3] Davis Drug Guide For Nurses 3/5 · US Helpful if you have time: This app is incredibly helpful for its accuracy, layout and and information however can be difficult to use in a clinical setting because of how long it takes to load each page
6. [R11] Davis Drug Guide For Nurses 5/5 · US New nurse: Quick , easy, accurate !!! All the things a new nurse needs. I can access information very quickly , it’s easy to use the app and it’s very accurate .
7. [R14] Davis Drug Guide For Nurses 5/5 · US Ease of use: I am currently enrolled in nursing school and the ease to find all of the information for every medication is so helpful! I used to use google to help me find all of the information on drugs and medications and this app cut down half the time it took for me to search on google. It is a really good app!
8. [R87] epocrates 3/5 · US Med ads?!: The last thing any clinician wants when trying to access information, especially for which we are paying, is to have to dismiss an ad that covers half the page, or pop-up link to an article about a medication. If the goal is to reduce the number of epocrates subscribers, showing ads is guaranteed to work.
9. [R12] Davis Drug Guide For Nurses 3/5 · US They need and update: It’s quick and convenient but they need an update. Too many errors and wrong information. For example I go check for Furrous Sulfate and the class is Antiemtic ???it’s suppose to be Blood former/Coagulator
10. [R45] Davis Drug Guide For Nurses 3/5 · US RN, CNOR, Lic-P: While this is the drug app I like the most out of all the ones I have used, it still has a few issues. I've seen several new medications on TV commercials, but it seems to take forever for them to appear on here. The other, and perhaps the one I've read the most about, is that if your subscription expires, you can't access the app in the version you've already paid for which is li
11. [R72] epocrates 3/5 · US Not working like it used to: This has been a wonderful app. However, I have the free version, and all of a sudden, it is limiting the amount of views I get in a week. I have used the same free version for 5 years with no issues and now I’m incredibly frustrated that I can’t access the content like I used to.
12. [R79] epocrates 2/5 · US Charging for Something That Used to be Free is Bad Business: Epocrates was always an absolutely indispensable product towards my ability to practice medicine confidently for 10+ years. Upon opening it up again recently, I was completely shocked to find out that the basic features of the service which I used to use religiously are now locked behind a paywall. I barely searched up even 10 drugs befo
13. [R39] Davis Drug Guide For Nurses 3/5 · US Amazing but costly: This is the perfect pocket guide to drugs BUT it's $39 a year and I have yet to find a way to use the access code I got with my textbook to get the subscription.
14. [R44] Davis Drug Guide For Nurses 5/5 · US So far so good!: New grad nurse here coming to hail how extremely useful this app is. It saves me time from having to lug my drug book, or look at the hospital’s medication system that only gives info from the patient teaching perspective, rather than the nursing perspective. It’s essentially a digital drug book, and has all the info I need. I’m glad I got the subscription; if you can afford to, d
15. [R67] epocrates 1/5 · US SHOULD STAY FREE!: Many of us have gotten used to this app and use it several times a day. It is unfair to take what was marketed as a FREE app and suddenly start charging to use it. If you are going to charge, there should be different tiers so that it doesn’t cost so much money. I have UpToDate free from my job, and open evidence is free for US clinicians. Guess those will be my “go to” fro
16. [R13] Davis Drug Guide For Nurses 1/5 · US Can’t cancel subscription: I used this app for several years while in nursing school and it was great. I no longer need it with a new job, but am unable to cancel the renewal.
17. [R19] Davis Drug Guide For Nurses 1/5 · US Unable to access: I have had this app for several months and only been able to access twice. I am a hospital nurse and was looking forward to having more info than our hospital site gives. The 2 times I got on it was great. I have contacted the app a couple of times to try to resolve the issue with no good help. Super bummed I wasted $40.
18. [R97] epocrates 1/5 · US Doesn’t Work: I have been able to open app at all with the two previous updates. It says “Please do not leave this screen. This may take moment.” However, it never loads. I’ve tried deleting the app and reinstalling. Turning on and off my phone. I have most recent os. Super disappointing. I’ve been using this app for 12+ years. It used to be awesome but now it’s awful. You’d think they’d care abou
19. [R116] epocrates 1/5 · US No notification: I am trying to access information and suddenly I have to pay $15 per month! There was no announcement, no notification. It comes up while I am with a patient trying to look up how to dose a drug. At the very least let us know!!! How many free views does one get per week or per month? $15 per month is too much. Very disappointed. Will find something else. There should have been
