Q: Years ago, we had a Journal Club that met at lunchtime, but people didn't want to give up their lunchtime and it wasn't a priority to take time away from the work setting. Is there a better way to set up a Journal Club?
A: How about a virtual Journal Club? I've been talking to colleagues who have established Journal Clubs on their hospital's intranet site or via e-mail. They provide links to articles that are accessible to staff nurses. After the nurse reads the article, he/she is asked to reflect on its content or evaluate it if it deals with research or a new treatment option and send comments to either a nurse manager or staff development specialist, whoever is spearheading the Journal Club. Some colleagues have even set up e-mail communications or chat rooms that give nurses a chance to discuss the articles virtually.
