Great app for calculating Flow Rate (volume/time) and Drip Rate (number of drops/time).
*********************
Thank you all for the thousands who bought the app. Please rate or recommend to your peers if you liked the updated version so I'd be able to make necessary changes as needs arises. The current price is a promo price.
This app includes more than 50 drugs used in critical care unit such as ICU, CV-ICU, PCU, Telemetry, and other special care unit.
This app is designed for nurses and other medical care personnel who are responsible in the administration of critical care drugs. It is a tool for the medical personnel a way of double checking their calculation in the hope of preventing medication errors.
There was no intention of including the drops per minute in this drip calculator. These drugs are intended to be delivered via an IV pump because of the danger of it to cause harm if the drip rate are not regulated properly. However, for educational purposes and requests of the student nurses who have seen the app as part of the Smart Nurse bundle, the drip per minute calculation has been included here.
This app also include indications, standard and maximum dosages, titrations, contraindications, and nursing responsibilities or considerations during the course of administration of the drug.
If you already own Smart Nurse app, then there is no reason to buy this app. Drip Calculator is part of the Smart Nurse bundle.

Don’t do it

Not worth the money. I would love a refund. There are some of the formulations that are wrong. The decimal place is in the wrong place and this was checked and rechecked by several people. Only tried for the Epi drip and that was plenty to see it will not work.
Not what I thought.

I thought this was a drip rate calculator where I could have it help me calculate how fast to run my IV without a pump. It doesn’t do that. It also doesn’t have any of the drugs I use. I totally wish I could get a refund. ? other users seem to love it but it just wasn’t what I thought it was.
Quick and easy

Great for quickly double checking math on drips. Easy to use and great for flight nurses/medics and critical care transport providers. Would like to see push calculations as well and maybe even calculations for making drips... I.e. making an Epi drip from 1:1000 vs 1:10000.. etc... just to double check manual math on the fly ;)
Nice

Nice job on this app. Real bedside RNs will make good use of this calc. Simple and easy to use.
Blank app

I opened the app and nothing is in there. No info about the drug, no trade name, nothing! It's a paid app, better fix it fast. I'll rate again once fixed.
Don't buy

Stupid me, did not read the review before buying this app. I opened and nothing is there, no info, no calculation, nothing. It's a useless app that I paid for.

Love the app. I've seen app that are just one drug and more expensive. I love that it is not a generic calculation. Not all drug are the same and are supposed to run at the recommendation of the drug company. Thanks for the update. It is now easier to look for the drug.
Nice App. But...

Overall a very nice app. Simple to use. Under Dopamine, the concentration should be prompted in mcg not mg.
