Hello Fellow Future :nurse:s,

I am looking at all these different apps (#teamandroid) on my tablet for A&P, pharmacology I, and fundamentals and don't know where to start.

Does anyone have any apps they love/hate?

Thanks!

Search lippincott in the App Store. I'm not sure what android has because I have an iPhone but I found a ton of great lippincott apps for free or practically free. They were a life saver when I came to doing practice tests.

Cool, thanks. My school is pushing for us to get the skyscape, so is it worth the money? I might get it.

And yes android has the lippincott apps, thank you so much. I just downloaded a few.

Quizlet has helped me. A lot of times you can search like the textbook title or author, like most of our classes are with Rosdahl, so I look up Rosdahl chapter 23 and people have already put in questions and definitions in but I learn it's better to make your own questions from my notes. They have matching, index cards, and not on the phone app but on the computer it'll make a test to help you practice.

PN Mastery- it's an NCLEX app and it's incredible. Get the paid version- it's definitely worth it!

Skyscape is great- I use that in lieu of toting my drug book around all of the time.

I second NCLEX PN mastery. I didn't start using it until I graduated from Lvn school to study for the NCLEX, but if i could go back in time, I'd use it to study for exams in school.

In fact, I do use it to augment my studying in my Lvn - RN program.

One of my tried and true favorites is "pocket lab values", for lab values, and possible interpretations for critical or abnormal values! I stumbled across it while in nursing school in '13, and have used it since. Simple, clean user interface, easy to use, and has just about everything you'd want to know. I have an iphone, and I can't remember how much it was, (I think less than $5..) but its so worth it.
