what nursing journals do you read as an ED nurse?

Specializes in ED.

I am a soon to be new grad who will be starting in a ED in July. I have taken a look at the above sticky thread and plan to use those resources upon starting my job. I am also thinking of getting a subscription to 1 or 2 nursing journals. As a new grad, are there any that would be better than others? Should I get a general nursing journal or are there good ones specific to ED nursing? I am open to any recommendations to help me stay current and up to date! Obviously I need to focus on the basics but I'd also like to read up on what is going on in research etc.

Specializes in Emergency, neonatal, pediatrics.

Join the ENA so you can receive the Journal of Emergency Nursing. The membership is worth the journal subscription alone. I also read the journal Nursing2008, which is more of a general nursing interest publication.

Both of these I read as well....

I'm not sure the 100$/yr membership is worth the journal alone but it does get you discounted classes, CEN, and online resources. I also like Nursing2008 keeps me up to date on a lot of med/surg/tele "floor" nursing type stuff and also has a lot of community nursing topics. I think its a better read than American Journal of Nursing (AJN) which I think is a little more political. I also like the free one from ANA--American Nurse today.

But all in all the one thing I'm addicted to the most is "allnurses.com"...you learn a lot here :)
