Hi! I'm new here and I am currently an incoming 2nd year BSN student, 1st course. I have read that in US schools, PDAs are a must. How about here in the Philippines? Anyone use a PDA around here?

Thanks.

Re: PDAs?

The last I check, PDAs are not a must here in US Nursing schoosl, although I find it handy in practice in the unit that I work at for calculating drips, formulary checks, dosage, etc. PDAs are handy but the very rudimentary PDA that we have, i.e., our brains, are more important than any electronic hand held gadget and it works just fine .

Re: PDAs?

Oh sure. I use a Papyrus II! Its versatile, durable, and shock-proof. Its power supply will beat anything out there but its weakness is its vulnerability to moisture. What do you use?
