Work Tablet

The agency that I am employed with gives us nurses a work tablet with the ability to access each client's medical record, chart visits, order supplies, etc. I feel this makes my job as a fulltime RN with this company very manageable and keeps me organized as well. Anyone else utilize a work tablet?

An acquaintance had one for one of her agencies and always had problems using it. She said she wasted so much time on a daily basis because she could not get/give her information in either direction, and said that plain old paperwork with phone turned out to be a better option for all the time she wasted.

I have a laptop. I'm not so sure I'd love a tablet, I'm a fast typer, I'd rather just type my notes.

Charting in electronic format for me is much more preferable to paper form. I can sync completed visits for 7 to 8 patients including 2 to 3 admissions in about two hours of after-visit charting and my day is done. Absolutely looooove my tablet!

Everyone in my agency uses a tablet... all work is done through there, notes, charting, etc. If you are tech savvy, its easier to use and fast. if not, you will struggle. My only ***** about them is it is hard to go from screen to screen to find information. Wish there was an option for a "two screen" view like I have on my phone.
