I have an iPhone and I love it. I have tons of helpful medical apps. I have a Saunders NCLEX app that cost $40, but it was definitely worth it. (I don't use it anymore though because I passed NCLEX last week!!!! ) I have Epocrates, which is similar to a drug book (and was free). One of my favorite apps at the moment is an EKG interpretation app because I will be starting my job on a cardiac unit soon. My other favorite is iWedding, which is essentially a way for me to organize my wedding contacts and to-do lists all on one app. If you are looking into an iPhone and are curious about what apps are out there, get on iTunes if you can and browse through the app store. You'll definitely want one then! Good luck! :nuke:

I don't think it is very practical for a nurse to do angios unless they can also do interventions (stents, etc). I disagree with cathing just for diagnostic purposes. Where I work there is a cardiologist who can cath but can't do any interventions. So when he does an angio and finds a blockage, the patient has to get back on the schedule with the cath lab for another doctor to go back in and take all the risks a second time so they can have their stent (or whatever they need). Just seems unnecessary to me.. But hey if nurses can get the training to do all of that, more power to us!
