What is the best pda software?

[nurse2BEE007]

I've been sifting through so many of the posts trying to see what is the best software for my newly purchased palm Lifedrive. I see several skyscape, pepid, micromedex, Epocrates. Maybe it is too many choices but I need help! I'd like to have something that would keep me from having to drag that med surg book back to clinical this semester. That's a back breaker! I'd like a drug book and am open for suggestions on anything else. I need to get this stuff and figure out how to use this pda while I've got a bit of time before classes start again. Starting 2nd year of ADN program. Thanks in advance for any help possible.

Hi there,

I downloaded Davis Drug Guide, Davis Labs & Diagnostic tests, Diseases and Disorders, and the Med Surge Pocketguide from skyscape. I really love the drug guide and lab book! They make writing careplans so much easier, plus you won't have to lug heavy books to clinical! You can go to skyscape and download a bunch of trial versions so you can try out the various software. I would also recommend downloading Tabers and RN Notes (those are the next two programs I'll be purchasing)...
