There is an app for MicroMedex for our nursing students! According to iTunes and Google Play, MicroMedex has several apps:
•Micromedex Drug Int.
•Micromedex Drug Ref
•Micromedex NeoFax
•Micromedex IV Comp
When I click into MicroMedex website via desktop for our campus, it appears that we have access to those on the web version, so we should access via the app as well. Librarians are not nurses and don't use the app but wanted clarification on how our nursing students can login to these apps. On campus, they would have to validate through our proxy server. I would doubt the app has that capability, so we wanted to find out how they can successfully login as our student.
Solution:
You can find the passwords for Micromedex by logging into your facility’s subscription. On the top corner of the Micromedex homepage, there are links for My Subscription, Gateway, Training Center, Help, Mobile Application Access and Logout. Click on the Mobile Application Access link and it will take you to IBM mobile Micromedex page. Now, please click on Micromedex Native Mobile Apps which will take you to the mobile passwords page. The passwords must be entered exactly as they appear onscreen. Please keep this email for future reference to find the passwords, as needed. We recommend doing this over a laptop or desktop.
