Unbound Medicine on iPhone

Correction:
Unbound Medicine does have titles available for iPhone on their web site now, including Nursing Central.

Decisions, decisions....now all I have to do is get an iPhone.

iPhone link

I found this link while surfing around the other day:

iPhoneMedicine

Dr. Salvatore Volpe has lots of information regarding various products and services available for iPhone. The latest news, which was really interesting to me, is that ePocrates is working on a version for iPhone. You can access ePocrates online version on your iPhone right now. You can see what it looks like at the ePocrates site.

And yes, Dr. Volpe, if they port Unbound Medicine and Skyscape apps to iPhone, I'm gonna ask Santa for one.

The latest news on IT for nurses

I've been busy myself learning the ins and outs of the VistA computer system for nurses. Here are some of the latest stories I've found about IT and nurses.

More nurses embrace IT (from nursezone.com)

CIN Computers, Informatics and Nursing - abstracts and links to articles available free at www.medscape.com

Nurses prefer contact to computers (from whatifpost.com)

An oldie but goodie that warrants a second look:
The potential use of blogs in nursing education (also from CIN)

Articles of note

It was a busy end of the year for me, both personally and professionally. My resolution this year is to work further on this blog and point the way to some of the better articles out there.

As I mentioned before, I find a lot of good things in my mailbox via listservs. Here's one from the nrsing-l listserv

Infection control and mobile devices
Time savers or harbors for infection? This article brings up some pretty valid points about infection control and IT collaboration.

Online nursing resources update

As I've mentioned before, nursing listservs are full of information that arrives straight to your mailbox.

I recently received an e-mail from a listserv I'm on that points the way to a list of nursing resources all in one place.

Essential Nursing Resources is available in PDF format or in HTML format at the NLN web site, so have a look and see for yourself the varied content and listings available.

Many thanks to Carol Bickford from the ANA for this and all your other posts to the nrsing-l mailing list.
