How often do you study/read up?

Pretty much every day... and if I didn't have time to do it at work, I do it at home.

for me - daily. I even have alerts on my email for specific topics. My state requires continuing education, but I find there are so many changes in the industry, and consumers are so educated, that it is in my best interest to stay abreast of things.

All the time. people come in with these new weird diseases all the time.

All the time. I try and print out research on new diseases or procedures that patients in my ICU are experiencing nightly. I read through them all and put them into my CCRN study binder and try to teach at least one coworker what I've learned with every shift. My state doesn't require CE credits, but once I'm CCRN certified they'll be required.

Every single day. I like this stuff.

this is my new year's resolution to my work I hope to manage my bilingual nursing studies:)

thank you for all the comment

of course!

nursing education does not stop after you have completed your degree. there are always new medication, new interventions for diseases. so if you ever run into something you are unfamiliar with, you look it uo, study it, and make a connection to why this is ordered for your patient and you will start to build up your nursing knowledge.
