PeRRSonalized Nursing

PeRSSonalized Nursing is an aggregator of medical resources for nurses. The "RSS" in the name simply means that all resource categories continually update automatically. You'll find current journals, blogs, news, videos, PowerPoint presentations, lectures, pdfs, links, and so much more. Check back for new content on a regular basis.

In each specialty, there is a tab for each of four areas: Medical journals, Medical Blogs, Medical News and Web 2.0 tools, all brought together by Dr. Bertalan Meskó. Just as this page was built for Nursing, Dr. Meskó has constructed pages for many other medical specialities (including Pediatrics) and specific medical conditions. Access these pages by using the drop-down menus at the top of any PeRSSsonalized Medicine page.

Ready for Research! Writing and Publishing Resources for Nurses

Nursing Writing is a blog written by Dr. Thomas Lawrence Long, associate professor-in-residence in the School of Nursing at the University of Connecticut. "...this site supports scholarly and professional writing, editing, and writing-coaching activities of the school, including reviews of relevant literature, writing tips, and calls for submissions."

The homepage is updated monthly, with mentions of new textbooks, conferences and other topics of interest to nursing researchers. In the Categories column on the left, click on any link to see past postings, such as "Grant Announcements" or "Publishing Tips." And don't miss the Blinks column on the right. Hover over each link to see a live Web preview of these valuable resources. One is featured below: Nurse Author & Editor.

Nurse Author & Editor is a free (after free registration) quarterly online newsletter. "Each issue of Nurse Author & Editor consists of articles offering advice on writing quality manuscripts, avoiding rejection, finding publishing opportunities, editing and reviewing." The emphasis of this publication is on practical tips for nurse researchers and authors.
