The world of apps is vast and complex. current trends demonstrate that future nurses will be engaging apps in many different environments for many different reasons. A few recommendations to consider in this process. First, choose a couple apps that can be consistently used across the curriculum. For instance , if Skyscape is being used in semester one ,do not use a different clinical reference tool in semester two. Next, allow students to compare and contrast patient care provided with and without the use of apps. It is important that students understand technology is not the centerpiece to patient care. For instance, students can compare professional communication using text messages with professional communication in a face-to-face situation. Finally, challenge students to compare apps to the evidence base. whether it is RunPee. com or Fooducate , the future nurse must always revert to going to peer-reviewed resources to ensure the best strategy is chosen for their client.
