Lippincott's DocuCare Internet Access Code for 6-Month Student Access

For the most part, it's good at providing a simulated charting environment for nursing students. Where I gave it fault is that certain parts aren't explained very well, and when I contacted customer support about it, I received a general response that mirrored the FAQ that it came with. For HIPAA reasons, we can't input patient's real info, which is totally understandable, but then they should just format it to list patient names as John Doe or Jane Doe and provide general birth dates. Instead it tells you to input the DOB and then randomly auto-generates a different one that shows up on the "chart" - which leaves you scratching your head as to why they would even bother if it's just going to change it for HIPAA reasons, or worse, makes you self doubt that you entered the wrong data to begin with.Edit: I think someone at Lippincott read my review because this semester, none of the above that I pointed out seem to be there anymore. No more entering DOB, you select a general range of ages that the client falls under.The site's servers appear to be overtaxed whenever our class has an assignment due cause it'll either be extremely slow or not work at all. Again, contacting their helpdesk about it yields no satisfactory answers.

This is a requirement for my nursing program. It gives you a good idea of what kind of information is to be included in documentation. It has both flow sheets as well as the option to write different tyoes of notes. The hospitals in my area use EPIC, and this program is a little different. My item arrived as described and I had no trouble with my access code.

The program is nice. I have to use it during my MedSurg class as our form of documenting. It's an easy program to learn and is capable with tablets as well.The only downside is the server can be dreadfully slow sometimes. (not an internet connection problem). Other sites load fine but this one can occasionally drag which is not helpful when I have a limited time to complete it.

Paid less than the book store && happy about it. At first I was very skeptical but I am glad I ordered this. The only reason it gets 4 stars is because the tracking number wasn't working and it made me question if this was a scam or not. But it's definitely not. Thanks!

Not sure why all the negative reviews. It is required for my RN program so there you go.Is it as user friendly as the EPIC system? Of course not, it's old and shows it.Is it easy enough to use for your classwork and understand the basics? Absolutely

This product really is through and through useless, and I can't emphasize that enough.All hospitals are transitioning to Epic based charting (or if not all are already on Epic) and once you are finally gainfully employed they teach you how to chart in at least a week's worth of training. If you have a job as an aide/tech in a hospital while you're in nursing school this is product is literally insultingly stupid and not at all based on say, I don't know, Epic?!?!?!?!? There's zero use for this product that paper charting can't be substituted for (besides for professors who are too lazy to collect paper charting and instead keep stupid products like these in existence). There's no reason to pay $70+ for a product that doesn't at all further our education. I could see some value if it was based on Epic and reinforced our knowledge of the charting systems we will be using in the future but it's not so it's without value as far as I'm concerned. Electronic charting isn't something that needs to be practiced, it's the concept of charting itself (recording everything to do with a pt's care) that needs to be practiced. BOOOOOO to professors that put us nursing students up to buying this. I'm grateful that my clinical instructor last semester also hated this program and had us chart on paper primarily, as we should be unless we are actually charting in our pt's medical records.I rarely (if ever) write reviews railing against a product but this one product needs railing against.EDIT: So I feel kinda dumb for not being aware of this sooner but the only redeeming feature of this damn program is it has a wonderful drug guide built in that is actually very useful. But of course access to this guide only lasts as long as the subscription you have and you can't really easily access the guides and say print them out? I still despise this program but at least they tried on that I guess. Med apps are just as useful though.EDIT 2: Knocked this review down to one star again because I haven't been able to even use this program lately due to my clinical instructor having access issues that apparently she can't resolve. Ridiculous.

Fast delivery and got me set for my 1st semester in Nursing School.

I used this for 2 semesters of nursing school and it's okay for getting to know how to document electronically, but the program itself is kind of whacky. It takes a while to get through the tabs and when reviewing the material before turning it in could be a little more organized. Overall, it's okay.
