Useful nursing iPhone apps: Billr.

One thing nurses love more than being nurses, is going out with good friends, (for some tasty food, a few drinks) and talking about being nurses.

Always an entertaining night. Until the bill arrives and we all have to go through that awkward bill splitting-calculating-coming up short experience to round off the evening. You know it well?

Well here is an iPhone app to add to your essential nursing kit that makes the whole thing less onerous.

Billr is a useful tool to quickly calculate each persons individual bill (up to 16 people), add a surcharge or tax and a tip and display it for them to see.
You can easily edit the individual bills to correct mistakes and you can even send each person a copy of the split bill via text or email.

There are many other apps out there which do a similar job….but personally, I find this one pretty darn elegant.
Now back to talking about the doctors……

Download from the app store (Currently $0.99 AUD)

    Thanks for the great review! Glad to hear you like the app. We have an update coming out tomorrow that lets you split the price of a shared dish, like an appetizer… or a bottle of wine after a long shift, perhaps.

    Bon Appetit,
    Nicholas

    • John said: It’s not a failure of leadership but a plan to destabilize our medical system and fully privatize it. No more medicare, user pays, just like in the U.S. Also an excuse to import foreigners, give them citizinship, then use there citizinship to increase Australia’s international debt borrowing. No, you won’t read that...

    • Rachel said: I agree with you Fabbia. No matter how much we try to be good at educating our patients, at the end it is still up to the patient’s decision whether to follow what we have said or not. On our side, at least we know we have given whats the best for them. We can’t touch every patient’s lives always.
