Introducing The Nursing Specialties LibGuide

This Nursing Specialties LibGuide compliments The Nursing Point-of-Care tool, and goes beyond general nursing, pulling together links and resources for the different Nursing Specialty focus areas, such as :

• Cancer Nursing
• Emergency Room Nursing
• Infusion Nursing
•  Maternal Newborn Nursing / OB
• NICU Nursing
• Pain Management Nursing
• Pediatric Nursing
• Perianesthesia Nursing
• Perioperative Nursing

 Other nursing areas of focus are currently in development, including Midwifery, Nursing Admin, Orthopaedic Nursing, Psychiatric Nursing, and Wound Care.  

Resources in each nursing specialty may include:

• relevant professional organizations
• eJournals
• eBooks
• handy links to relevant databases like Cinahl, Lexicomp, or PubMed
• and useful websites.    

We hope these will be handy resources at your fingertips wherever you are around Ascension Wisconsin, when you need this type of focused info in patient care or when you need to update policies.

We are open to suggestions for additional specialty focus areas, or links and resources.
