melmarie23, MSN, RN 1,171 Posts Specializes in L&D/Maternity nursing. Mar 17, 2009 we were given one (Palm or HP depending on our computer specs). Just about everyone hates theirs. I will probably get a blackberry once I am able to upgrade my phone next month. I know others are using their iPod touch instead of their PDAs. IMO (as well as my classmates) the Palm and HPs are just not that user friendly compared to other devices (eg. blackberry, iPod touch) out there.
RhodyGirl, RN 823 Posts Specializes in Med/Surg. Mar 18, 2009 You don't have to buy one, but I got one because of the convenience factor. I also have the PEPID program on it, which is great. Better than lugging heavy books around to clinical!
