ER Nursing resource online?

Specializes in Emergency Room.

I'm a relatively new ER nurse and feeling like there is so much I don't know!! Is there a kind of "one-stop shop" online for ER nursing for treatment and explanations of typical ER stuff - asthma, stroke, DKA, etc...

Thanks!

Most of the things and treatments are contained within your policy and procedure manuals too........one of these sites is canadian, it is relevant and is very good. ONe of them talks about the spacestation but the information is relevant. All of them include links to other sites. What we see in emergency medicine is vast and takes time to grasp it all don't be so hard on your self. Wanting to grasp the knowledge is admirable but it really takes time......Welcome and good luck!!!!!
