Looking for an app for a nurse to do charting. My wife is a hospice nurse and wants to use her iPad2 for charting her patient visits. Does anyone know of a good app?

I would be VERY careful, and probably not advise this.
By using an app such as this, you will be housing patient data (Health Records, Protected by HIPPA) on a personal device that is not encrypted. This is a HUGE issue (speaking as a server admin at a large healthcare institution).
The only way I would use an ipad as a charter device is if it were merely a front end for a EHR housed on properly secured servers. Likely running citrix....or something similar.
I believe it was more than adequately answered...So nobody answered the question. Awesome.
Agreed it was more than answered and thew same answer I mind you by everyone being on the same page, HIPPA privacy is nothing to mess with for her to chart and take it off premises where she works. The info is the property of her employer and not her no matter how you spin it.So nobody answered the question. Awesome.
In general, at work, they must provide an application.
