Latest reviews of AACN Essentials of Critical-Care Nursing Pocket Handbook app for iPhone and iPad
Expensive for what is it. Should have more videos or x-ray film sample
Its just not worth the money.
Very basic, incomplete information. In no way is this worth $1, let alone $35. Do not waste your money.
Not the teaching tool it should be for this price, normal value tables are unusable, sample pages on purchase page deceiving.
I just wasted 35 dollars on this app. The tables are 100% useless. You cant read them without going into "fullscreen" and then you have to slide the screen back and forth. Heck, you cant even tell which table you are gonna click into to view until you do, and chances are, thats not even the one you need. As a CCRN and CEN and AACN member, I expected more from an AACN endorsed product. If you get what you pay for, you will be buying a lot of useless crap with this one.
