First Year Nursing student needs some advice on assignment......

we usually do not do homework here, but think of the different people a nurse encounters. If you were standing at the nurses station and had a question about meds, what would you do? who would you call? is there a written resource? policy? Internet site? This might help, I hope

Hi im a first year nursing student and i need some advice for an assignment........i need to know the resources available to a clinical nurse.....PLease help!!!

you can try the Hospital library. You can use the reference books that each ward usually carries some of. You can use the online tools found on your inTRAnet on the ward computers, like Mims Online. You can also access the journal databases through the computers. Like The Cochrane collection ( medical) or Cinahl ( nursing ) or CIAP. You can utitlise your educator or Num or your senior. Try also your hospital Policy manual, or the Mims that is found on every drug trolley.

The list is endless, hope this helps.
