Q: Are there any options for journal clubs other than the old method of reading and discussing articles?
A: Online journal clubs are a popular trend. Some staff development specialists put links to articles on their organization's employee website. Nurses follow the links, read the articles online, and discuss them either in person, in online chat rooms, or via e-mails or texts.
The club's discussions don't need to be limited to journal articles. You could use links to professional associations, healthcare sites such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or online newspaper articles about various healthcare issues.
