The nursing program I’m in requires purchasing a PDA. Nurses, is this practical?

PDA

Jenny asked:


Along with it, I purchased (as required) medical software including drug dictionaries, medical terminiology, and quick references, all of which are updatable. How many nurses use PDA’s in the work setting? I think it’s a great advancement, but just not sure how popular it is with people who are already in their nursing career.

    Mijn buurman naast de deur is een verpleegkundige en is net als voor 20 jaar. Zij heeft onlangs haar start met het gebruik van een PDA – als ik het goed begrijp, zijn voor het indienen van papierwerk. Verpleegkundigen verslagen en dat soort dingen kan worden per e-mail rond. Dus zijn niet echt als referentie, maar zodat je kunt verzenden (en ontvangen) medische informatie / bestanden snel. Dat is een gebruik in ieder geval.

    Diese Sachen sind groß und die Software erhält besser und besser. Die Drogekompatibilität ist das Beste und das viel einfacher als die begrenzten Tabellen in den Büchern. Dieses verwenden Sie dieses für den Rest Ihrer Karriere. Ihr seien Sie immer auf der sicheren Seite, zum von Sachen oben zu schauen, egal wie lang Sie eine Krankenschwester gewesen sind. Wenn Sie eine Wahrscheinlichkeit haben, fast zu schauen, hat jeder ER Doc. ein.

    Ik heb nooit gezien dat gebruikt voorheen. Ik ben er zeker van dat het afhankelijk is van de instelling die u bent

    It depends on where you work. I bought one when I graduated from nursing school, thinking I would use the drug reference a lot, but it turns out I have never once needed it. My hospital system has their own intranet that includes all kinds of helpful resources including drug references, etc., and since we have computers in every patient room, there is really no practical reason for me to have a PDA when I have access anywhere I want.

    Other people find them very helpful because they don’t have such resources readily available. It certainly can’t hurt having one. At the very least, you’ll have another toy to play Tetris. ;)
