Why Mobile Devices?

The College of Nursing requires all undergraduate (BSN) students and Graduate Entry students to have mobile devices by the beginning of Autumn semester as part of their requirements for the program. Having a mobile device puts a wealth of evidence based information at your fingertips, including a drug database, lab and diagnostic tests information, information about medical conditions, calculators and formula references, and more. The mobile device is more than just a static reference tool, though. The materials update regularly, giving you current information on topics like warnings from the FDA, drug costs, and new dosage recommendations. Once you are comfortable with using your device, you will spend less time looking up information that you would looking it up in a book. Plus it weighs a lot less.

Compatible Devices
