I just got an I-Pad and am wanting to use it on the unit and am interested in hearing from nurses who use different apps on the unit and if you would recommend them or not. I teach and my program requires the Nursing Central Bundle for all of our students, so I have that app and am familiar with it. I also have Epocrates, Micromedex, PubMedTap, several apps that give me access to online journals for my specialty, Littmann Soundbuilder and GE Clinical Images.
Does anyone use the I-pad for taking report and making notes throughout the shift and if so, what app do you use for that?
Does anyone use it for commenting on Microsoft Word documents (ie grading for me), as I think it would be much easire to grade a careplan using a stylus with the I-pad instead of using bubble comments in Microsoft Word as I am currently doing. I have downloaded Notetaker HD and I-annotate apps, and am interested if there are others to consider.
Any ideas would be appreciated! Much thanks in advance.
