By Over on our Facebook page, we’ve got a conversation brewing about the best nursing related phone apps. One of the nominees for best app is WebMD, which, according to its website, “makes it easy for you to browse slide shows, read articles, and find the answers to your health and wellness questions–and that’s not all! Check out mobile-only tools like Local Health Forecasts that provide you with the severity of pollen, the harshness of UV rays, and more–all based on your location!”
What nurses love about it:
“As good as the original site. Lots of ways to personalize and save your favorites. Best app of its kind.” – Kim Stanford Henderson, Google Play reviews
“Love how easy it is to search and view a wealth of information about health. Symptom checker is a great first resource before seeing a doctor. Lovely app.” – Emily Warfield, Google Play Reviews
“Very through and comprehensive. No major/minor flaws that I have found. Wish they had 6 *so I could justifiably rate higher.” – A Google User, Google Play Reviews
