PDA's are allowed, in some hospitals, you can even get their latest drug updates, but you can do fine without the PDA. The drug book, lab book and hospital computer covers just about everything. It would be nice, if you were leaning to carrying a P...

you move the decimal at the start of the problem, let's see if I can type it in. Let's say 25.5 divided by 0.5. change that to 255 divided by 5, you moved each decimal place over one so that you could make 0.5 into a whole number, no decimal. Now...
