The Find Articles tab includes general information about finding articles in the nursing field, including how to tell if a journal is a nursing journal, how to limit your searches to current nursing journal articles (from the last five years), how to find the full text of articles, and more.  The CINAHL guide is also a good place to look if you'd like to get tips for searching CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, our main nursing database). 

You're encouraged to work with Karla Block, the nursing librarian, for help with searching for articles or other sources.

This course requires APA style. Your program will provide more detailed information and examples, but the library and tutoring services are additional resources to help you master APA style.

The APA Citation tab provides links to handouts on citations and formatting (just how do you format those hanging indents, anyway?) plus information on citation tools available in the library's resources like CINAHL.

It also covers some best practices that will make the process a little less intimidating. 

The library has a variety of books about nursing as a career and nursing specialties, some of which are highlighted below.  This list also includes some books related to other health careers.  Please Ask a Librarian if you need help or are looking for additional books.
