Nursing Central is built around the idea that the most frequently asked questions are about diseases, tests, and drugs. The core disease text is Diseases and Disorders: A Nursing Therapeutics Manual, Davis's Comprehensive Handbook of Laboratory and Diagnostic Tests with Nursing Implications and Davis's Drug Guide provide test and drug information respectively. Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary is a nice addition. It is evident that Unbound Medicine felt it was important to have content written by and for nurses.
...tables of content for over 250 journals and literature alerts can be directed to your PDA when you synchronize. In addition, the same literature management toolset is included with Nursing Central and can be used on the Web to search MEDLINE, browse tables of contents, or review saved articles and search results in the "Archive". The default tables of contents alerts reflect nursing titles such as AJIC, AJN and RN.
MEDLINE searching from your Treo, BlackBerry or other internet enabled mobile device is via a simple and intuitive interface. It is nice to see that Unbound Medicine believes nurses consult the literature.
