Must have software

[larae09]

Ok those of you with PDAs can you tell me what software I should get that is a "must-have"? I just got my PDA and I don't want to spend money on software that I am not going to use. I am already figuring I would get a drug book, but what else?

I really like the medical mnemonics program (only nursing/medi related program I have on mine right now). There are lots of threasd about this subject - you could do a search - but I'm sure some other folks will chime in with some useful info in time. :)

I shopped around for the first year I had my Pocket pc - I used many programs in their trial form - I even served as a beta tester for a short-time for a program still in development. What did I purchase? Lippincott's Drug Guide (there's an updated version available annually) and Griffith's 5-Minute Clinical Consult. I also have Diagnosaurus (I think that's how it's spelled). I received that free after purchasing the Lippincott's and Griffith's as a "nursing bundle". It's a nice little program too - a differential diagnosis program... punch in the symptoms and it can tell you several different possibilities and the patho for each, as well as diagnosis, treatment, complications, etc.
