Using an iPad on the floor

Nurses LPN/LVN

Published

I am a new LPN that will be starting my first nursing job next week. I'm starting this thread to hopefully get some feedback on people's opinions and experience with iPads on the floor. I have used mine extensively in nursing school and as an agency CNA. I have ADD, and my iPad really helps me stay focused and organized. If it doesn't make it into my iPad - it's probably not getting done, lol. I'm hopelessly lost without it. I'm concerned, though. I see iPads a lot on students, but not really with anyone else. I'm worried about: damage, infection control, the facility giving me a hard time due to HIPPA concerns, theft. Any tips on how other nurses use their iPads on the floor, the apps they use, how they keep it clean and safe - would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Ipad while working? No esbueno imo. Maybe in the future when COWs are replaced with something like that. But not yet D:
