Unbound Medicine download???

Hello everyone! I am starting my classes/clinicals in August, and my school is requiring that we download something called Unbound Medicine to a hand-held wifi device. Has anyone used this download before??? Thanks!:confused:

I use the Nursing Central app on my iPhone through Unbound Medicine. The app was $160 to purchase and allows you content updates for the first year. It contains Davis Drug Guide, Tabers Medical Dictionary, Diseases and Disorders, Medline Journals and couple of other things too. It has been great. Especially at clinicals where you have easy access to all of those resources. (And not having to lug all those books around!)

I also use the Nursing Central App and have it downloaded on my Droid. It is great during clinicals. Our teachers recommended it, but we could buy the hardback books if we wished. It's great because you can update whenever you feel like it for the first year. Mine was 159.00 and the school bookstore. Great investment. What school do you attend?

On our school book list we are supposed to get the davis drug guide, which is part of the Nursing Central App, which I was just going to get for my droid anyway. I wonder if I can just get the droid app and not buy that book since our fundamentals series is $450 eeek!

I use this and love it. It is well worth it. To the above poster the Davis drug guide is easier to use on the app, don't buy the book!

Thanks everyone for the info! I have a smartphone but no data plan, so I am planning to buy an Ipod Touch to download this app. I checked out the Unbound Medicine website, and it will work on the Ipod Touch. Geez...does the outpouring of cash ever stop??? LOL!

I go to WCCC in PA. :D I'm very excited to finally start my actual nursing classes, just not excited about spending all this money! On top of the Unbound Medicine download, I also have to spend over $1000 on actual books. Ugh!

"outpouring of cash" ahah i totally feel you. No one ever mentions how much your actually spending but the forms never stop coming. uniforms, books, tech fees, testing fees, supplies, shoes, books, apps, etc etc etc. its overwhelming.

all i think of is the finishline where we'll all be nurses, pay back darn loans, and then live comfortably and happily helping others :D
