Best Apple apps

Drugs.com, Dropbox, all nurses, pages or other writing app, and quizlet for looking up flash cards when you forget yours!

It's a beautiful day to save lives.

Thanks alot. I appreciate your responses. I want to do a very good job during clinicals and I want to have as many resources available so I can best take care of the patient.

LabValues+, The Sanford Antimicrobial Guide, Qx Calculator (free!), Brainscape for creating flashcards (also free!). Also, Google Chrome so that I can look up stuff on FPNotebook.com (free) and UpToDate (free through my school but generally not free). Plus, with Google Chrome you get the added benefit of synching bookmarks and open tabs on other devices.

I'm also old school and carry around a copy of Maxwell Quick Medical Reference. Between that and my phone, I don't need any other reference materials.

I agree about Epocrates being a great reference. On my iPad, I have Clinical Advisor, which has some interesting tools for clinical practice and a wealth of knowledge about many topics. I also have Consultant, which is an app to obtain electronic copies of the print magazine by the same name for free.

I've also been using drugs.com and I set it to the professionals. It's great to look up something real quick.

Medscape (not sure if it's on Ipad, but I had it on my Droid) saved my butt during clinicals. Also, Rescuscitate! is free on iPad, kind of lets you play the provider role as they give you a case scenario and you have to choose DDX's and order diagnostics and interventions. There's also a little book called the practitioner's pocket pal, written by a PA, and it is a helpful little reference for assessment skills, ddx's, lab values, etc...perfect size for a lab coat pocket. Good Luck

When we started clinical, our school provided us with Epocrates. I found it very helpful over the past year. I also i bought the Harriet Lane Handbook app which is also really good. I also used pocket guide type books (bright futures and Manuel of ambulatory pediatrics)...

good luck starting clinical is very exciting.

Good information. Love helpful apps!

Prognosis is a nice app for case study exposures. It has a TON of case studies that are constantly being added to, allows you to pick diagnostics and treatments (somewhat limited) and gives you feedback on your choices, as well as tells you what the outcome of the case is. It's great for picking up weird little bits of knowledge.

I just downloaded this app last night after seeing your post. I love it! It's fun and full of explanation. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks again everyone for your input and best wishes!
