A PDA also known as a portable digital assistant is a small handheld computer device that is used to store information on to do lists, appointments, addresses and games. Many people do not realize that a PDA is capable of doing more.

A portable digital assistant can be used as a nursing PDA device to store information on medications, patients’ laboratory results and drug and IV infusion information. A nursing PDA device stores certain reference materials such as medical books, diagnosis guides, medical reference materials and many more.

Nurses who use a nursing PDA device are more efficient in working in clinics and hospitals because patients’ records and medical records including drug dosages are tracked down in a quick manner. Medical information that is kept in a PDA device is made available within a touch of a button. A nurse’s labor time is then reduced, and the remaining work time can be used to perform other daily tasks.

A nursing PDA device can make use of a number of different nursing software programs. Most nursing software for the PDA can be obtained from the Internet, for as long as you have access to a credit card. A download link will be provided once you pay for your software. The nursing software must first be downloaded to your home computer, before it is then downloaded to your pocket PDA. A USB port is required to download from your home computer to your nursing PDA device.

There are nursing software programs that can also be obtained for free; it is just a matter of knowing where to find it on the Internet.

There are a number of factors you should consider before you purchase a nursing PDA. A nursing PDA device that has the highest memory capability that you can afford should be purchased. This will make your device capable of storing large amounts of information which you can refer to daily. The battery life of a device is an important deciding factor in nursing PDA devices especially when you use the PDA device for long periods of time daily.
