Med/Surg Resources

[thinwildmercury]

Hi everyone! I am a newly minted, proud medical-surgical nurse. I am curious if those with some experience under their belts have any recommendations for resources that would be helpful to a newbie on the job. I know that's kind of vague so more specifically, any good nursing associations I can join, etc.

I know Google is my friend but I just wanted to hear from actual nurses on what they have found helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Congratulations! I have found that I have learned much more since nursing school than I did while in nursing school. Outside of on the job learning, I have sought out opportunities for continued growth. I love the Academy of Medical Surgical Nurses...excellent publications and great conferences. I also have bought a number of seminars from PESI healthcare, and Med-Ed is good as well. Find a journal to subscribe to...I have tried Nursing 2014 and Nursing Made Incredibly Easy. Best of luck...be patient with yourself as you grow into your new role.

Which med/surg seminar did you buy/attend from PESI? I am starting new job on med/surg floor and haven't been on floor since nursing school about little over year ago. Any advice and resources would be great to find out about.
