New Product for Nursing Students

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Cary, NC - February 12, 2003 - Ascot Technologies, Inc., a Cary based software and systems integration company specializing in wireless applications, announces the release of AscotNP Version 1.1.0. AscotNP is Palm® OS based software, which permits Nurse Practitioner Students to collect a wide variety of data from their clinical experiences. This aids Nursing Instructors in evaluating the variety and value of student experiences when preparing them for later practice.

According to Theresa N. Grabo, PhD, CRNP, of Binghamton University, "AscotNP has been used successfully in our Nurse Practitioner program. Student Nurse Practitioners collect clinical data on a Palm® handheld. Collecting this data on a Palm saves time and allows us to analyze trends in nursing education and in the community.”
