drmatt 3 Posts Oct 13, 2009 Thanks a lot for the useful informative links. I would also like to recommend a website which is a great resource for medical videos online. It not only provides an in-depth overview of various medical disorders but also provides alternative medicine information. The website is named as Videomd.com and is created by physicians to educate patients and strengthen the relationship between doctors and patients.
VegetasGRL03RN 61 Posts Specializes in Med/Surg. Has 4 years experience. Nov 24, 2009 I just starting using the Critical Flowsheet as a study tool for Peds & it's working very nice. I'm pretty logical so tools like this help a lot!!! Plan to use it for Finals with OB & Peds coming up and as a review for Med-Surg before going in High Acuity. Thanks a lot, Daytonite!

LORI LORI 4 Posts Specializes in CNA LTC. Jan 30, 2010 Daytonite - I would have paid $$ for these reference pages - Thank You for graciously taking the time to post these. I have so many pages already bookmarked but you have arranged them in a user friendly format. You have made my day and likely will be a co-factor on the day of my graduation from the program. xoxox :heartbeat
