Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Talk about a Bad ConceptThis product would have been better if they would have created their templates built over existing MS Office programs, so that the functionalities inherent to Word/Powerpoint/Excel could be taken advantage of, and so that you could, for example, paste in your concept map as a powerpoint slide, etc. Instead, they created their own little proprietary software which is so limited that it makes it inflexible. In the future, they should just build it over MS office- everyone ... Read More Rating: - Not ImpressedI was very excited when I first found this product because I thought it would really help me with my nursing concept maps but in the end I was very disappointed. The software is very user friendly when it comes to collecting the data, but the actual concept map was a nightmare. Customizing it was a joke. As a student we're required to enter scientific rationale for each intervention which is a lot of typing. This software does not let you resize your text boxes in no way. Therefore, all of my text ... Read More Rating:  - It was okI purchased this to help with a class project. However I found that it did not meet my class specification, because they can vary by each instructors likes, more than care plans. So it did not help me at all. Also I found that my school text book had the exact program available for free on the internet with the web based study guide. so for me it was a redundant product. So to summerize, it was exactly what they claim, it works well, just not what I had hoped for. I have the care plan constructor ... Read More Rating:  - Great Concept Map BuilderI feel this program is great for nursing students (myself being one). It quikly builds concept maps and lets you know what information to gather while doing an assesment. Your teacher will be impressed by the professional look. The other reveiw states that it is very difficult to learn how to use this program, however, it took me just a few minutes to be up and running, it's SIMPLE! Anyway I highly recommend it. Rating: - Save your money and do it yourself.Although the thought that went into creating this item was useful, the item itself is not. The headings for content areas are there, but the learning curve is steep- it was for me, and for my nursing students. There is not adequate space to allow for text entry, and it basically makes your paper pretty by adding colors. It took my students longer to figure out how to use the program than it did for them to create their own concept maps using a standard word processing program. |
