Tablets

[NurseEmmy]

I put this in general nursing hoping for the most responses.

I might need to invest in a tablet for my LPN-RN program. I have an Iphone, but I'm not very "techie" so I am at a loss. Any suggestions? What do you use?

I'm a student so I would prefer to not have to buy the $500+ Apple Ipad. However, I want something that will be useful and works well, so if I have to pay the big bucks I'll find a way. Thanks.

I have an HP 360, no problems. had

office installed on it. It comes

down to personal preference.

My my daughter has a Toshiba and an I Pad at college. She uses the tablet for class (lighter than her laptop) but prefers the laptop for actual work. Her school installs Office for Students on there and she has a program for APA and MLA format. I don't think

Apple has those yet.

I got a Samsung Galaxy 7" tablet from Sprint when I upgraded last year. It's perfect for everything I need and even has 4g connectivity. Small enough to comfortably carry in EMS pants, scrubs, or flight suit.
