Here are just a few links.....

A PDA drug guide is great to have when meds are added after you have pre-planned. I also like my PDA version of Taber's dictionary--sometimes it's just handier. Archimedes is occassionally handy for calculating BMI or osmolality, and it's free. An RN Dx program I bought proved not to be so useful, to me, since I usually have all my books open when I careplan. ePocrates isn't bad, but I only have the free version.

A lot of PDA software comes in free trial versions that give you a chance to see whether you'll use it. Most, if not all, of Skyscape's stuff is like that.

I also got a couple of lab guides for free, but had to by iSilo to open them. They aren't bad, but I think I'll buy a more complete one, next time I have some extra cash.

On the other hand, I'll be an RN, next time I have some extra cash...

cool deal..thanks to you both. The info is helping me a lot. :)

I really like epocrates. It is a great drug reference and includes herbs and other alternative meds. When you subscribe you also get a feature called "medmath" that has every possible formula you may need for school or work and a "tables" section that has lots of helpful info, including normal lab values and vaccination guidlines for adults and peds. It really helps in my job to have a complete drug reference right there in my pocket!
