Clinical guidelines resources:
Medscape www.medscape.com (my personal favorite resource, FREE but you have to register, highly organized and pretty updated).

Uptodate www.uptodate.com (very expensive $$$, lots of entries, some even said that they contain more articles than medscape)

Dynamed

Essentialevidenceplus www.essentialevidenceplus.com (not really my favorite because it looks like it's a big database of original or cochrane reviews but it's not organized for quick review like uptodate or medscape. Yet, it has lots of entries. You can try it out for free in 30 days to get a feel of it.)




Gastroenterology (GI):
American College Gastroenterology - Clinical Guidelines: http://gi.org/clinical-guidelines/clinical-guidelines-sortable-list/ (very useful resource for several key GI conditions)

GI Pathology association - GI pathology CME courses: http://usgips.com/resources/gi-pathology-courses/ (probably too high a level for general non-pathology GI NP students like me)

Manner principles:
- Value feelings of guests over own possessions


Case examples:
- No need to respond to offensive or racial slurs, do:

• Change the topic. 
• Ignore. 
• Avoid the urge to rise to the defense.
• Say, 'You must be talking about me. I'm ...'
• Say, 'I don't appreciate that kind of remark.'
• No need to support or laugh at such a poor display of taste

- You possess the skills, expertise, and the experience but do not have the educational degrees to match it up to people's expectations but you feel that you understand the value of the degree, try "I did it the hard way, although I can't say I would recommend this to others

- Ask for time off: http://work.chron.com/ask-boss-day-off-22303.html Follow company policy, Give sufficient notice, Provide a reason, Express gratitude - "Thank you so much for considering my request. The time off is very important to me."
