Nursing-PDA Listserv Member Survey

The Nursing PDAs Listserv is more, much more than just a listserv, here RNs are making IT.

Not a member yet? Join here before you fill in this survey. If you want to get a feel for the membership demographics scroll down and click on the "View Results" button.

With over 800 list members, we thought it would be nice if we all got to know each other and the group as a whole a little bit better.

There are only a few questions and no text answers are required, so go ahead; share your thoughts and experiences with your fellow members.

This survey will give us all a snapshot of who we are and what we are doing with our gadgets.

You are encouraged to drop in from time to time and update your responses, if you do, over time it will become an invaluable resource for all of our members.
