Free Drug Handbook App

I've never won something free in my life, but being able to host a giveaway so someone else can be a winner is almost as exciting. I was given a code to download this Nursing2013 Drug Handbook (Nursing Drug Handbook) as a mobile app, which you can find here. I've written about the paper version of this handy reference book before, so I'm going to limit my comments on the content of the app; it is just what's in the paper version, but in a more up-to-date version. I have to admit when I had my hands on the paper version, it was nice and all, but isn't everything going paperless these days? Lo and behold, the same thing, but mobile version is now available. Finally!

The app is pretty much what you expect: drug information in a readable format that you can carry with you on your iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch (make sure you can run iOs 5), or Android. Below is a screenshot of what you find when you search Ritalin, so you can see for yourself that the thing is convenient and easy to read:

Frankly, I much prefer the mobile app version over the paper. Who wants to spend time flipping through pages? Unless you're a hunt-and-peck kind of typer, you're going to find the information you want faster with a mobile version of a drug handbook than a paper one, not to mention the fact that this one won't weigh your pockets down. That said, this is a pretty new app, which means kinks are still being worked out. For one, while I don't consider myself the least bit technologically challenged, I had a small bit of trouble downloading the full version of the app. Second, I found a couple of minor bugs, but they've already been fixed - great response time by the publisher! Others' reviews of this app were similar: a great app if you can get it working properly, which some people were able to easily, some were not. There is a free version as well, but you won't get too far with it: that would be like buying a drug handbook with pages missing. Get the full version if you really want to be able to utilize this as a mobile drug handbook. (If you're concerned about glitches, I have to put in a good word for the publisher: they responded and fixed an issue I found within 36 hours.)

Now for the best part: I have a code you can win, so you can play around with it yourself! Enter your information below for your chance to win.
