Does anyone know any websites?

Published

I need to do research over about 10 diagnosis and meds that I cannot find in any of my books(over my Chistmas break). Does anyone know any good websites that I can use for this? I usually don't use the internet for this but I am at a loss. Any help would be great.

I haven't used it myself yet, but some in my class love Epocrates.com for med information. It's free and easy to use. I don't know any diagnosis websites, but hopefully Daytonite will respond--she's awesome with websites.

Good luck!

Okay, checked out this website and it is a good one, best of all, it is free!

Just curious, which ten diagnosis and meds are you looking up?

Are you talking about nursing diagnosis or medical? I always thought they were 2 different things. And for a nursing diagnoisis you can not use a medical diagnosis but how you care for the patient with a certain medical diagnosis?
