magnifying class iconTIP: Use "nursing" as a search term

  • Since your articles have to come from nursing journals and be relevant to nursing practice, using nursing as a keyword in these broader databases will help focus your results.
  • Try nurs* as a search term, too, for more variations of the word (nurse, nursing, nurses, etc.)
