Nursing Topics: What I'm Reading, Watching and Listening To

Sometimes I marvel at this modern age. Just think of all of the resources we have available to us to learn more about any topic we can possibly think of. Because I am going into nursing, I am naturally drawn to all forms of media that will steep me in all things medical...until such time as I can participate myself.

This is just a short list of resources I'm using to further my knowledge and interest in the field:

At times I need to dial down the media inputs in order to get things done! Truly no point in soaking up all these great resources if I still haven't taken the necessary steps toward getting into a program, but honestly, I need a balance and these research efforts keep me motivated.
