31. Which nursing publications do you subscribe to and which one is your favorite?
How to Answer
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.

About the Author
I began my healthcare career when I was a sophomore in high school and became an STNA (state-tested nursing assistant) at a local long-term care facility. I then went on to work as a nursing assistant at a local hospital and home healthcare agency. During that time, I pursued my Bachelor's in Business Administration: Human Resource Management and transitioned to working for one of the largest long-term care and post-acute rehab companies in the country. I supported the talent acquisition function, and in the span of 8 years, I screened and interviewed over 1,500 nurse aides, LPNs, and RNs.
I hold a very special place in my heart for nurses, as it's often a thankless and tiresome job. Not everyone is cut out to be a nurse, and I have great respect and admiration for those that choose this career path.
