Qwiki a service that combines speech-to-text and assembled multi-media to create little slideshows based on Wikipedia entries just launched publically. It is still in early development Alpha phase so it's not a polished product, but impressive none the less.
I'm pretty impressed with it, I think this will be a great tool to Qwikly learn things :)
Here are some links to Nursing related searches with multimedia experiences. Make sure your speakers are on for full effect:
Nursing: http://www.qwiki.com/q/#!/Nursing
Nurse: http://www.qwiki.com/q/#!/Nurse

Please feel free to share other nursing related qwiki searches you find. Enjoy

I was expecting speech-to-text and it appears to be text-to-speech? I am waiting patiently for the day I can just dictate my charting, sigh

Thanks for sharing Brian
This site offers the ability to download books and listen to the computer read the text:

Also has free books read aloud.
I was too thinking along the same lines. So you think you'd like having 15 msg patients? No need to sit down and chart, so you have more time for more patients?
