The BMCC Department of Nursing does not require you to purchase  any of the listed apps. They are listed here for your convenience. 

Before purchasing apps to use in clinical you must obtain the approval of your clinical instructor. While while in the hospital your phone must be on "Airplane mode" unable to receive or make phone calls or text messages
