Two new nursing journals from Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (Philadelphia, PA) will begin the publication of two new nursing journals beginning in early 2006, including "Critical Care Nursing2006" and "Men in Nursing."

"Critical Care Nursing2006: The Journal of Critical Care Excellence" will be published six times a year beginning with a January/February issue. An annual subscription costs $30 for individuals and $85 for institutions.

The journal is targeted to nurses working the ICU, CCU, cath lab, PACU, telemetry, progressive or transitional care environments. LWW said the new title will addresses the information needs of the busy critical care nurse with digests of clinical practice developments, research

findings, and assessments and interventions that reflect the latest critical care standards. Content will offer continuing education articles and features on such topics as BISS monitoring outside the ER, coronary reperfusion using drug-eluting stents, post-cardiac surgery, preventing VAP, recognition and treatment of acute lung injury, and treating severe sepsis. Departments discuss new medications, the latest ACLS guidelines and trends in pediatric care.

Also to be published six times a year beginning in February, "Men in Nursing" will address the clinical and professional needs of male nurses and those who recruit and hire them. The journal will cover four main areas: clinical, technological, career and personal. Articles will cover the "unique clinical and technological needs" of medical/surgical nursing with a focus on such areas as critical care, emergency, trauma, OR, ICU/CCU, anesthesia, burn unit, transplant, military and air medical transport.

Editorial will include articles on such topics as methods for overcoming gender stereotypes, patient care guidelines, managing career goals and career development, finance, high-tech equipment, men's health issues, and strategies for effective collaboration with all members of the healthcare team. An annual subscription costs $30 for individuals and $79 for institutions.
