I love my iPod!

     This past weekend, when I was home, I was telling my boyfriend's sister about my nursing classes and what we were learning to do. I told her that I was having difficulty figuring out a certain heart rhythm and she quickly stated, "There's an app for that!" And sure enough there was! She is a nurse herself, and she just started going through different applications off of the Apple store and she found one from the Littmann company, who makes stethoscopes.
   
     We then proceeded to download several more apps that were of course free, but helpful for nursing. There were a lot more than I had expected! Needless to say, I now have a whole bunch of apps that will hopefully prove to be helpful in the future, although I already used one last night!! I know my last post was sort of "bashing" the use of technology for education, but this post was to simply say that I believe that technology is very beneficial and when used at the correct times, is a wonderful thing.

  1. After I made my Apple ID, I went a little app crazy. I asked several of my friends what apps they have and what they recommended. I downloaded numerous free ones, but I found myself deleting them as a couple weeks went by, because I just wasn't using them. Maybe I just didn't get ones that fit my lifestyle as well as your nursing apps fit yours. Hopefully I'll eventually find ones I use often, like my Instagram app.

  2. I'm sure you'll find ones that better fit you! And I haven't tried instagram, so maybe I will give that one a shot!
