What to use for school, ipad, iphone, or mini laptop???? - Page 2

Which apps are you using? I just got an iPhone and am really excited for how it will help me in nursing school, but I'm having a hard time figuring out which apps to use. So far I have Epocrates and Medscape.

The iPad is great for reading but awful for typing, in my opinion. I'm a fast typer and I find e ipad interface awkward. It slows me down and some of its predictive typing drives me into a rage.

For classes, in general, I have always learned more taking notes by hand (and NOT using PowerPoint print-outs). I could have written this message 10x faster than I just typed it on my iPad.

But reading on the iPad is a transformative experience. I have trouble trying to read the news on my MacBook anymore - it's just so inferior to the tablet format!

i have one with my protocols,
drug calculator: "med calc", it includes drip rates, dose calculator, even has the visual pain scale and a lot more, its great

epocrates & lexi-comp: for meds

ecg guide: for interepreting some ekgs here and there

student life: its for organizing my school schedule
translator: w/ speech - never know when you'll have a language barrier
ummm thats about it for now

Thank you Pneumothorax!! I have been playing around with MedCalc and it is really cool!
