Nursing School Enrollments are Up
The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) has released a preliminary report on the results of the association's latest annual survey of U.S. nursing programs. The report shows nurses are advancing their education: Enrollment in all types of professional nursing programs increased in 2012, even though many fully qualified candidates seeking to enter the profession were turned away - 52,212 in all.
Enrollment in entry-level bachelor of science in nursing programs grew 3.5 percent in 2012, but the most notable increase occurred in baccalaureate degree-completion (RN to BSN) programs: a 22.2 percent increase from 2011 to 2012. This marks the 10th year of growth in programs of this type. Click here to read the full article

There are lots of medical dictionaries out there, but it seems that Taber's Medical Dictionarydescribe the image for Mobile + Web-which is used a ton in nursing schools-is one of the top choices. If what they claim is true ("including 30% more medical terms than any other app," "used most amongst healthcare professionals"), then we can see why!
Taber's contains more than 60,000 terms, 1,000 photos, and 600 patient care statements, making it a hugely comprehensive health science dictionary. The iTunes page boasts that "Taber's goes beyond in-depth definitions with nutrition and alternative therapy coverage, medical abbreviations, symbols and units of measurement, immunization schedules, nursing diagnoses, links to pronunciations, and more. This powerful app contains the information you need to answer critical questions at the bedside, in the classroom, at home, or in the office."
