According to research, NP ToolBox 6.0, has helped reduce stress and error by using the software. This product also provides extensive textbook related content in over 300 areas with most of the information dealing with Emergency Room situations. The software makes it easy to access helpful information on the go when time is of the essence and nurses don't have time to run to the 500 page reference book.

It is important to note that this app must be checked for validity. With any technology involving, the item in question must always work. I am not sure whether the information within the app is actual valid as it has not been given a snap of approval by the FDA or another oversight entity.
