patient. He was tachycardic and was later found to have a pulmonary
embolism. –JJ, RN.
1. Increase your Knowledgebase
Knowledge is power!
The more you know, the easier it will be to recognize and treat patient
problems, leading to less complications and improved outcomes.
Learn the Easy Way!
When most of us think about continuing our education, we think about all
the long hours of study and the inconvenience of going back to school. With
the advent of the internet there are multiple ways to learn without leaving
your computer keyboard or even your e-mail inbox.
Use the web.
The world-wide web contains many useful and professional sites that make
learning easy. The following sites are great starting grounds: Medscape.com,
WebMD.com, or Merck.com.
Most nursing organizations also have web sites. These are good places to
find articles, clinical tools, and conference information. For critical-care
nurses start with aacn.org, or sccm.org. For medical-surgical nurses see
amsn.org, or nursingworld.org for starters.
