What sources do nurses use to stay informed of new medical research?

Published

To stay at the top of our careers, nurses must stay informed on new techniques, drugs, research, etc. Hospitals subscribe to uptodate and it's a nice reference tool, but I have to know to check it myself just to see if there's anything new - and the info isn't that new by today's standards. Medinfonow.com sends me an email each Friday with info related to my specialty, and that works great since it comes right to me and I just click links to get right into the newest research. But their info is only pulled from Medline Plus and Doody's book reviews. So while it's very valuable and worth keeping, I want more. Can you all share with me what else is out there so I can add to my knowledge base - preferably by having it delivered to me? Thanks.

On medscape I have my subscriptions set so it only sends me the breaking news/new studies in my areas of interest. Did you try that?
