Nursing procedures and protocols

I work in a very small hospital and we are trying to improve our nursing procedures. Lippincott Nursing procedures and protocols (book and online) have been suggested for us. BEFORE we make that investment I wondered if anyone uses this on their floor. Most of our nurses are experienced but standards are not as high as we would like them. We have a very new educator. I work Med Surg.

Thoughts?

    You can also google a ton of information and ask surrounding educators for their policies to compare. They are usually willing to help.

    i have heard of more than one hospital that has replaced its policy and procedure manuals-- those three or four huge black binders in the corner over there that nobody ever looks at-- with the single page saying, "refer to lippincott manual of nursing practice." i don't know if it's true or not, but you could do worse. it's what is called "a very well-respected reference" in legal-speak, meaning you can pretty much take it to the bank.

    Mosby's Nursing skill/ Nursing Consult is much better than Lippincott.

    I work in a facility that is a community hospital with tertiary services. We use Mosbys for policies, protocols and guidelines. They are evidenced based and current. You should check this out first.

    Why do you think mosby's skills is better than Lippincott nursing procedures/skills?
