Which nursing publications do you subscribe to and which one is your favorite?
Nurses subscribe to nursing journals to keep updated with the latest nursing news and trends. There are online and print journal for just about all fields and specialties for a nominal yearly fee. Often CEU credits are offered free each month. It is very important that any nurse applying to a specialty position report subscribing to the journal of that specialty as it demonstrates interest and investment in improvement. It's not enough to say that you read them all. Describe the benefits of the journal and how they upgrade your nursing practice.
"I have been devouring the AJN since I started nursing school and I'll subscribe to that forever. It's just such a good general overall review of all things nursing and trends in nursing. I really like the free CEU course and the app. I also subscribe to Scrubs Magazine which is all things nursing."
"As a nurse, it's vital to stay informed about the most current medical news and what's going on in the industry. I currently subscribe to the American Journal of Nursing and the Journal of Nursing Care Quality. My favorite is the American Journal of Nursing because of all the healthcare news, research topics, self-study CE articles, and expert opinions."
"I love to learn, and I find myself excited when it's time to receive the next nursing publication! I currently subscribe to Clinical Simulation in Nursing and Lippincott Nursing. I really love Clinical Simulation in Nursing for its articles from research, practice, teaching, and management perspectives."
"I currently subscribe to the Journal of Pediatric Nursing. I love how it is always packed full of wonderful, informative content that makes me more informed and betters me as a nurse. I always look forward to receiving the newest edition in the mail!"
