Best General Nursing Journals?

Specializes in PACU, Surgery, Acute Medicine.

What are the best nursing journals? Not for specialties, just nursing in general. I'll be starting on a med-surg floor this summer and there are so many magazines out there, I'd like to pick 1 or 2 that are considered to be the most current and well-written. Thoughts?

I access general nursing articles electronically from my hospital's library website. I also access some of the free articles at http://www.nursingcenter.com/home/index.asp

I like American Journal of Nursing and Nursing2009.

Same. I also enjoy Nursing Made Incredibly Easy.

I've gotten some nice CEU's out of these.

I like Advance, too -- besides the great price (free!) it's usually tailored to your geographic area as well.
