David Amdur on 21 Dec 10Third-year undergraduate nursing students and first-year master's entry clinical nursing students received an iPod Touch. The device provides students with mobile applications that give them information they'll need in the classroom and at the bedside, as well as an app to help them prepare for the nursing board examination. The apps include: Nursing Central Provides everything the nurse needs - nursing assessment, nursing diagnoses and nursing procedures. It includes the Davis Drug Guide, lab and diagnostic tests, a diseases and disorders reference, and Taber's Medical Dictionary. There is also a Medline Journal citation and study-abstract explorer. Medical Spanish Translates English questions and phrases into Spanish to support Spanish-speaking patients. With Hispanics now constituting nearly half the population in Southern California, having the ability to communicate successfully with patients is critical to delivering the proper care. The app includes more than 3,000 phrases. NCLEX Review This comprehensive review is what students study before taking the California Nursing Board Examination to become licensed as registered nurses.
