Question by Spam Me: What is best for a nursing student: iPad, Android tablet or laptop?
My wife is going into a nursing program and I would like to get her a computing device but I’m not sure which one is best for her. I’m thinking either an iPad, an Android tablet or a laptop. Which would be more beneficial for someone that is mediocre on technology?

I’d have to say a laptop would be best. (preferably a MacBook Pro)
Second – Android tablet.

Laptop, because it has USB slots, a disk drive, SD slot and such that iPads and Android tablets don’t have. If she wants something lightweight, opt for a netbook ;D
I work for a huge hospital network based in Pittsburgh that has locations in many different locales including overseas. I am not aware of not a single clinical software application that runs on something other than Windows. Yes, the IPad and Android tablet may claim to be Windows compatible but they are not. Many clinicians in my organization have used non-Windows products, primarily Apple devices, only to have to change.
Understand that I am NOT endorsing Windows in any way. I am simply stating the way it is.
