NURSING RESOURCES
if you're like me & want about 15 different ways to access the same information just in case you're missing something - then this page is probably for you
CALGARY GUIDES
Unlike most of these items, I remember exactly when I found this website. Because I had just finished my pathology class.
​
These mind maps are outstanding for all things patho & will make your life just so much easier
SIMPLE NURSING
I love this man.
​
While this does have a membership subscription there are free resources available as well.
If you can afford the subscription it's worth it, but if not no sweat. Their youtube channel has a wonderful selection & usually links their guides.
​
It is US based though so always double check lab values
SIMPLE NURSING PODCAST
Yes this is a separate entry. I needed space to fully express my adoration for this specific resource. This playlist is all about pharm.
​
I would listen to this playlist on my way to & from clinical so often that it was my top played for 2020. I swear by it that this is a huge reason why pharm is a strong point for me.
​
It reviews some of the most common NCLEX meds, their indications, contraindications, MOA, & side effects.
No Spotify? No problem, you can still access the full playlist with a free account - just have to sit through a few ads.
​
US based so be mindful of lab values
REGISTERED NURSE RN
This woman is such a gem.
​
Her youtube videos are in depth & helpful, theres a little bit of everything, & she's a fantastic teacher.
​
You'll notice a trend starting - because this is also US based. So while very helpful & informative, be aware that some things in the Great White North are a tad different.
NURSING SOS
Another membership site, & this one I didn't personally get - but to each their own.
​
What I do love though is the Youtube channel for this site! Plenty there & really helpful. Plus every once & awhile a free guide will be available.
​
US based - so keep that in mind
NURSE LABS
Hit or miss, but when it's a hit - it's out of the park.
​
I used this one a ton for care plans & their 'study notes' can be absolutely fantastic.
​
They're pretty in-depth & detailed so if you're looking for quick glance, information rich, printable resources - you'll probably spend more time scrolling than you'd like.
​
But, if you want to know the ins-n-outs of it all theres a good chance that it's most likely on there.
​
As you may have guessed - US based. So always double check your information.
THIS PODCAST WILL KILL YOU
Is this specifically a 'nursing' resource? Well, not really - BUT it gave me such a better understanding of pathophysiology, patient experience, history, & treatments for so many diseases.
It's hard to fully express how genuinely entertaining this podcast is, but I was listening to it well before I even started nursing school.
​
These 2 incredibly awesome epidemiologists go over so many different conditions. They take what is normally a pretty dry subject & turn it into something that has kept me entertained & laughing for hours on end!
​
Even if you're not a big podcast fan I can't recommend this one enough - or stress how genuinely enjoyable it is.
​
Plus, it's all evidence based & cited on their site - so you know its top tier.
​
*To help get you hooked I highly recommend listening to their MRSA or small-pox episodes (they're my favourites)*
SITE - THIS PODCAST WILL KILL YOU
Not only do they have the audios here (if you don't have a streaming app) but you can find:
→full written transcripts for all episodes (to cite the podcast itself or for those who are hard of hearing)
→academic citations on each episode page (round of applause for evidenced-based information sharing anyone?)
→book recommendations for furthering research
→a wealth of COVID-19 research (in addition to their full audio series)
→both alcoholic & non-alcoholic drink recipes themed after each episode topic
→of course some merch - because these ladies are hilarious
RNPEDIA
When I tell you I was outright giddy finding this site - it's a vast understatement.
​
While still an US based resource their information on pathology (especially in a nursing sense) is outstanding.
​
I desperately wish I had found this at the start of my program, it would have saved a lot of time digging through the internet for nursing interventions but c'est la vie.
NURSEITLIKEYOUMEANIT
