Hi Everyone!!
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY :hatparty:
That said, can anyone provide some advice about PDA software for a nursing student? There seems to be a lot out there, but I have no idea what is necessary and what the best resources are. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Jayne

P.S. If you would also like to express an opinion on PDA devices, that would be appreciated, too!

I wonder the same things..

I do know there have been several discussions on PDA software, and devices. Try searching....you may find some answers you're looking for.

BTW, good luck with your nursing.

My school has a handheld portal with links to all sorts of software. I haven't checked it out yet, so I don't know how good it is, but here is the link:

I found a tungsten E2 online for $205 brand new, warrenty in box.....which is the best deal I've been able to find anywhere. I also found a great deal on nursing software. I just bought them online a few days ago and don't physically have them yet so I'll let you know how it works out.....

Please do! What site did you buy them on? The one I'm looking at is $600 and apparently has lots of bells and whistles that I probably won't know what to do with...

I got the Tunsten E2 for $205 from buydig.com and I got the nursing software as a bundle package from ebay (stratuszone was the seller)

I should be getting them this week and I'll let you know how it works out. The E2 is the replacement for the Tungsten E which has been mentioned quite a bit here as being able to handle the nursing student needs w/out bells and whistles but the E2 is bluetooth enabled and has optional wi-fi connectivity and MP3 player which is certainly enough for me. I didn't need cell phone / camara on my PDA as I already have a cell w/ camera.

I'll keep you updated on my satisfaction with the product. I'd hate to send you to that seller if it doesn't work out.

But this was the absolute lowest price I've been able to find. The palm one website lists it for $249.

Check out Pepid .com I use it everyday at work, they even have a free trial dowload, I think it's for 30 days.. very handy to have saves a ton of time.
it's on my pda and I won't go to work without it!

I found stratuszone in e-bay, but i couldn't find a nursing software bundle, just a bundle that included everything (10,000 programs or something). Was that the one you got? Are you happy with it? How much did you pay for it. thanks for your help.

I would like to know how you liked the PDA software off ebay as well. Is it current? Did it install properly? Were you happy with the seller? Thank you!

I have been using a Palm for several years. I currently have the Palm E2. I use Epocrates software. You can download it from www.epocrates.com.

The software includes a medication program that lists every med in the med books along with side effects, interactions between meds, price, etc. You can get that for free but it doesn't include the alternative meds.

I have the software on an annual paid basis. I have the full medication program with alternative meds, lab program, tables, treatments for common medical condition and formulas of all kinds. It is totally worth the $ each year to have a med handbook and lab handbook in my pocket.
