SNA Meeting

For those of you who were unable to make the meeting today, here were some things that you may be interested in.

PDA programs that Bonnie Boss said she HAD to have:
Nursing Constellation
Taber's Dictionary
Diseases and Disorders
Diagnoses
Davis' Drug guide
Laboratory and Diagnostic Tests
IV Drugs

PDA download websites:
Skyscape discount code - SJDC (25% off, except package deals), we were already told about this from a previous student
Epocrates discount code - 521NUREPOC0607 (first 3 are numbers and the last 4 are numbers) (35% off)
PDAMD.com
Handango - Some freeware
Unbound Medicine - Package deal "Nursing Central" (includes Diseases and Disorders, Davis Drug Guide, Davis Laboratory Tests and Diagnostics and Taber's Dictionary) for $159!!

One thing to note when shopping for programs, if you purchase all of the programs from the same site, they will be able to link back and forth between programs.

On another note, for any of you that would like to get involved in SNA, they are in need of a person to go to ICC (InterClub Council) Meetings to represent the SNA. This is a requirement to keep SNA as a club at Delta. There isn't too much involved, for those of you who are worried about overextending yourself (which is probably everybody!), just someone who is able to represent SNA in a dignified manner to other clubs. This ICC meeting will be on October 4th at 130pm in Shima 101A, tentatively. If you are interested, just comment on this post, and I can get you in touch with the SNA president.

If you are interested in attending the next SNA meetings, they will be October 1st, November 19th and December 3rd at 1pm in Locke 314. They are always looking for items to speak about in the meetings, so if there is anything you would like to discuss in the next SNA meeting, contact Danielle at goshblogit@gmail.com or Kdaniellem@yahoo.com.

Thanks,
Trina

What programs to put on the PDA

Hello there!

It's me again! I know a lot of us are wondering what exactly we should be putting on our PDA's, and I found on a previous blog a number of people agreeing with the comment to purchase:

Constellation

Diseases and Disorders - A Nursing Therapeutics Manual 2/e (RNDiseases)

Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary, 20th edition (Tabers20)

Nurse's Pocket Guide Diagnosis, Interventions and Rationales, Ninth Edition (RNDxInt9)

This is also what Bonnie had suggested in today's Study Skills class.
