Palm Pilots in Nursing School?

Hey everyone!

I was thinking about buying a palm pilot for when I start nursing school this fall, but I wanted to ask ya'll if they REALLY helped. Also what exactly are they good for? I've heard a lot of students say they were good for clinicals, but what are they used for specifically? If you had/have a palm pilot, do you find them useful or could you do without it? I just wanted some input before I went out and bought it! Thank you!! :nuke:

We were required to buy one (HP ipaq 110/111) as a 'technology requirment'. I don't start till July but I hope we really need it b/c it cost $300.

I have a T/X. It's nice...but to be honest, I use it occasionally at clinical and rarely do I use it in class.

So far, the PDA has been one of those things that are nice to have but not critical to surviving NS. Then again, that might all change when I start my second year :lol2:
