Marlborough, Mass. (PRWEB) October 4, 2005 -- Skyscape, Inc., the leading provider of interactive mobile references for over 475,000 medical professionals, today announced agreements to provide its solutions to the faculty and students of a dozen leading nursing schools around the U.S.
Under the wide-ranging agreements, the nursing schools will either distribute free or substantially-discounted Skyscape mobile medical references to their students and instructors. Loaded onto personal digital assistants (PDAs), Skyscape’s references enable users to access continuously up-to-date and cross-indexed medical references quickly and accurately – and leave many traditional textbooks on the shelf.
Sandeep Shah, president and CEO of Skyscape, announced agreements with:
1. Central Maine Medical Center, Lewiston, Maine
2. Drexel University, Philadelphia, Pa.
3. Edison Community College, Piqua, Ohio
4. Fort Hays State University, Fort Hays, Kan.
5. Fort Sam, San Antonio, Texas
6. North Central Michigan College, Petoskey, Mich.

10. University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston School of Nursing, Houston, Texas
11. University of Texas Medical Branch School of Nursing, Galveston, Texas
12. Western Iowa Tech Community College, Sioux City, Iowa
In the classroom, nursing instructors use Skyscape’s medical references to facilitate teaching and demonstrate the latest in medical reference technology. On rounds, nursing students utilize Skyscape’s medical references to keep abreast of new medical issues and concerns and to reference the latest medication dosages or to check symptoms of a new condition – all without leaving the patients’ bedside.
“Given what nurses are facing from the medical system today – from their dramatically increased responsibilities to the complexity and volume of available medical treatments and information – handheld computer technology and digital medical reference solutions are nothing less than a critical tool that’s needed to get the job done,” said Sandeep Shah, president and CEO of Skyscape, Inc.
“We are pleased to be working closely with the nation’s finest nursing schools and faculty to help ready the nursing students of today to become the best trained and finest quality caregivers of tomorrow,” Shah added.
