Programs for PDA in LPN school

Nursing Students LPN/LVN Students

Does anyone here have any of those programs you can download onto your PDA for school? I know there are threads about this in the Gen. Nursing Student forum but I wanted to know if those of you specifically in an LPN program recommend anything.

Thanks

Must have Tabers, Davis drug guide for nurses or whatever drug guide your school uses, and a nursing diagnosis for clinicals.

But Tabers is a must have...

Thanks. I was thinking about one of those things from skyscape that is a bunch of programs in one but wasn't sure if I would use it all in lpn courses. Definitely getting the Taber's.

My school required that we get a PDA since 3 of our required books are in PDA format. They figured it's better than having us drag the books into the hospital where they seem to get lost. I agree but it wasn't cheap! They're 3 Skyscape products..."A Manual of Laboratory and Diagnostic Tests", "2009 Lippincott's Drug Guide", and "Nurses' Guide to Clinical Procedures". I am only in my second month and we don't start clinicals until next week so I can't say how helpful they are, but they seem pretty informative and convienent. If money's not an issue. They ran around $50 each I think.

I have nursing central on mine. It has Davis' drug guide, Davis' lab and diagnostic tests, Diseases and Disorders, Medline Journals, and Taber's. It is offered by Unbound Medicine. I use it constantly.
