Nursing Central Reviews

by Certified Vampire

I cannot get any use out of this. I launch NursingCentral and attempt to sign in – and receive the message that “the network connection was lost . . . please try again.” No matter how many times I try, the network connection is immediately lost. This happens on cell data and WiFi both.

I have been unable to access app support to rectify this. I paid money for NursingCentral , and I paid for access to classes.

Is this some kind of branch of Trump University?

I got NursingCentral because nursing school highly recommended it. Plus with all the books I had to carry I thought it was worth a try. After 15 months of using it I can safely and confidently say this: don’t bother with this company and get a good nursing drug app like Davis’s Drug Guide for nurses (or just buy the book). This company reels you in by taking advantage of your lack of knowledge.

They ‘allow’ you to use NursingCentral (that YOU paid for in full) for 12 months. Then require you pay for another renewal.

You can keep using NursingCentral on your PHONE (after 12 months)only; you can’t login online via your laptop/computer. But if you change phones then you no longer have access to the Unbound app on your new phone.

So take it from a nursing student, don’t bother with NursingCentral. Wish I would have saved myself the money. I plan to buy a nursing drug app and leave it at that!

I like centralizing the info and the NursingCentral does that beautifully.

I am very irritated to discover that most of the journals that NursingCentral presented as being included in the “cost” of NursingCentral if you paid for premium access, are in fact barely searchable. God help you if you actually find an article that you’d like to or want to read- 90% of the time that content costs extra. That’s right: on top of paying for the privilege of being a “premium member”, they want you to fork out more cash per article if you have the gall to try to read them.

Save yourself the money and invest time to visit a public or school library. Same journals there, free access and they let you read them at no extra cost. You just have to put forth extra effort for them rather than the small convenience of a centralized collection on your phone.

For what I pay per year, I wouldn’t think there would be more to buy in NursingCentral, but there is. You get a basic set of comprehensive resources for the annual fee, but if you want anything else you have to pay $50 or so for each extra manual (and there are several of them). I wouldn’t quite call NursingCentral a ripoff, but I also wouldn’t say I got my money’s worth, either.

I won’t be renewing my subscription when it comes due.

When the syllabus for my MedSurg class gave getting the Nursing Central app as an option instead of buying 3 separate textbooks, I was worried that it wouldn’t be as helpful, but I am so glad that I got it anyway. NursingCentral has so much applicable information that is necessary for nurses to know, and after using it for a few months now, I can’t imagine going through nursing school without it. Also, unlike any textbooks, I have it with me everywhere I go, which is perfect for when I have to look up different drugs during clinical. Nursing Central has helped me regularly since I bought it, and I would highly recommend it to any nursing student or nurse who is considering doing the same.

This is a great product for student nurses as well as as instructors and working nurses . It has almost everything that you need . It is handy and a wonderful resource .

by My Reference

I am a nursing instructor. I have used nursing central as my primary clinical reference for 7 years. I have it loaded on my I phone and is easy to use.
Thank you for supplying such a wonderful resource.

by Kmwillie

This product is excellent for students, faculty, and clinical faculty. It puts clinical information needed for classroom, clinical, and simulation experiences in their hands to make evidence-based decisions. It has tools to help students study NCLEX-RN questions, create flash cards, and selected notes. The search feature is great in assisting in finding evidence, reading the research, and evaluating abstracts from saved journals. It is a robust product that integrates all the books one would need in nursing school and gives you so much more that it is useful after graduation.

Great place to learn more about medicines we use in the hospital and conditions.

The paper version was a favorite medicine resource, and this resource is even better.

I highly recommend it!!!!

by Curly Limon

I have been using NursingCentral for a couple of years now since nursing school. I find it easy to use, and I appreciate the cast amount of knowledge

by SiggyMac

If you want a comprehensive guide to nursing and medicine, this is a great resource to have. I’ve used NursingCentral for 10 years and will never get rid of it. Enhances your knowledge and helps the user practice safely. Must have!

by Ardsnarf

It’s easy to forget medications or treatments you administer on occasion. NursingCentral takes the guesswork out of it but even as important, it is easy to use and find what you need. As long as it is available, I’ll be a subscriber. Thank you.

Can’t log in... not an inexpensive app. Unable to log in or change my password or even contact anyone at the provided phone number / website..

I am using nursing central for about 4 years now. Nursing central is the best gift a nurse can offer himself /herself. I couldn’t ask for a better tool during nursing school . I graduated 2 years ago but still using nursing central several times a day.

by Nursenancy23

I love NursingCentral. I use it every day at work. I’ve told my colleagues about it and I always recommend it to new grads. People say it’s expensive, but if you bought everything separately, it would be more than twice as much. AND I remind nurses and nursing students that it’s tax deductible!

by Nursing In Ma

I First started using NursingCentral in Nursing school . It was very helpful. The info is to the point and accurate. It gives you the info you need quick and easy. I find it very helpful and have continued to use NursingCentral as an ED nurse!

by Caseprn

I have been using Nursing Central since nursing school, 12 yrs ago! It is the single-most used app I have ever had the privilege to use! It is a “one-stop shop” for ALL your Nursing needs. It has Diagnoses, Diseases, Lab Values, Medical Dictionary, Drug Handbook, Pictures, Diagrams, Conversions, Calculators, etc, etc, etc…… It is worth Every penny! Buy it today!! 😊

by J1872

honestly I couldn’t have survived the past few years of nursing school without NursingCentral. when I needed to make med cards the night before clinical, having all the meds in one centralized made studying/prepping much more time efficient and easier.

I found that I was able to make care plans more effective when I had NursingCentral as I guide. Yes, it even includes rationales.

by Nurse Today

Nursing Central is by far one of the best apps to use as a student or in general practice. I speak from experience as a nurse for 40 years and as a nursing instructor for 15 years. It is a wealth of information that easily translates into knowledge necessary for safe, professional nursing practice.

by Agent Z

I started taking the NCLEX prep quizzes, and the rationales are absolutely horrible. They make no sense and contradict the question. It makes absolutely literally no sense whatsoever. If you’re looking for a positive outcome, and you list a positive outcome, you get the question wrong and in the explanation it will say it’s wrong because it’s a positive outcome.

Do 3 year olds write these quizzes or the rationales?

by Caitlin 7636

Everything I need for nursing school and clinicals, right at my fingertips, quick and easy to find built in tools and information. LOVE.

by Laracreamer

NursingCentral has everything! Couldn’t have gotten through nursing school without it!!!

by Rnmo22

All information is removed the moment you don’t renew. They don’t provide a moment of grace period!

by Eponetin Alfa

So far I love using nursing center. I help me do my homework by finding relabel information. My one wish to include video to explain about drugs, treatments, and disease.

by Jayr22

I bought it through my tuition fee. They told me that will be mine after graduate. Very disappointed. It’a very expensive to buy on app.

by KBass21

Worth every penny!! Just having access to the drug guide itself makes NursingCentral so convenient—no toting around that book everywhere you go!!!

by Literally Why R U All Doing Th

Everything and anything is at ur fingertips with NursingCentral! I love it and use it pretty much every day!
