The Nursing Point-of-Care  LibGuide pulls together some of the just-in-time online reference tools that are most useful for nurses in direct care of patients, including:

• Nursing Procedure Manuals
• (includes The Lippincott Manuals, known to be excellent nursing references for policies & procedures)
• Diseases & Disorders
• Drug Info
• Lab Tests
• Taber’s Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary
• Cinahl (Find Nursing Articles)
• Patient Education
• And links to go deeper with the Nursing Specialties LibGuide and Clinical Key.

This is meant to be a temporary solution until Ascension chooses a standardized nursing point-of-care tool and makes it available nation-wide.  There will be some lag time before an Ascension Wisconsin state-wide subscription for this NEW nursing point-of-care (POC) tool goes into effect later in 2018.   Until then, use this LibGuide.
