With the dynamic nature of healthcare today, nurses are expected to remain current with the latest skills and newest available knowledge, particularly within a medical specialty. So much information is available that it can seem overwhelming, and you may be wondering where to begin. Subscribing to one or more nursing journals is an excellent way to stay abreast of current changes and discussions in the nursing field.

Whether you are a nurse performing within a medical specialty, within a hospital setting or in a general practice clinic, nursing journals provide an outstanding means for obtaining accurate, up-to-date information at regular intervals. Most journals are published monthly or quarterly, and many nurses find it helpful to subscribe to at least two or three journals. It's a good idea to receive at least one general nursing journal in addition to any specialty journals.

Something for Everyone
The American Journal of Nursing is the oldest and largest nursing periodical and is available at an affordable subscription price. The award-winning Nursing2008 is another popular choice for nurses of all specialties. Nursing2006 is a reader's favorite with at-a-glance updates on a wide range of topics.

If you're a specialty nurse, you're sure to find at least one journal focused on your particular area of expertise at Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. Specialty journals include medical areas such as cardiology, anesthesiology, nutrition, immunology, cell biology, pediatrics and more. Additionally, a wide range of nursing journals are available with a specific focus such as management, legal issues, pharmacology and more. Visit our nursing store at LWW.com/nursing today.
