It looks like the ANA is working on launching an online social network for nurses at ANANurseSpace.org

I wonder how it’ll compare to NurseConnect or NurseLinkUp.
So the AMA has a partnership with Sermo and the ANA is building its own social network. I wonder if there will soon be a online social network or two […]

Regular readers know that I don’t generally post about personal matters on this blog, but this touches on my professional life enough, I think, to mention.
I’ve never been admitted to a hospital as an inpatient before a couple of days ago. I’ve never had oxygen tubes in my nostrils. I’ve never had to […]

In cooperation with their nursing program’s faculty, the Health Sciences Library at SUNY Stony Brook put together a video tutorial on the use of CINAHL.

I’m finding that viewing a lot of online training materials on a single topic helps me figure out what I think works.
Some other Web-based CINAHL tutorials:

EBSCO
Florida Gulf Coast University
UNC Charlotte […]

From Polite Dissent, a fascinating bit of nursing history from a 1963 comic book:

Wow.
I like medicine, comics, and television, so I’m crazy about Polite Dissent. I especially love his dissection of each episode of House.

CINAHL Plus adds a variety of new features to the original CINAHL database. While the functionality of some of the new search mechanisms leaves something to be desired, the usefulness of the available content cannot be denied.
I have to agree with most of the review. Mostly great content, but I really don’t care for […]
