The majority of all nursing research is done through researching scholarly/ peer-reviewed articles.
At Felician University Library, nursing students have three options for finding scholarly/peer-reviewed journals. The first is through our homepage, the second is through our databases and the third is through open access journals.
In order to find the best information, you will need to search through all available resources. This means searching through both CINAHL Ultimate and ProQuest Nursing and Allied Health, as they contain the most nursing resources.
Need some help with finding articles and other materials? Check out these video tutorials from some familiar databases and learn some tips and tricks for efficient database searching!
Please note that if you are using the ProQuest Thesaurus, you will need to check off "MeSH 2019 Thesaurus."
What is open access, you say? From SPARC: "Open Access (OA) is the free, immediate, online availability of research articles coupled with the rights to use these articles fully in the digital environment. Open Access ensures that anyone can access and use these results-to turn ideas into industries and breakthroughs into better lives."
To access our databases, visit the Felician University Library's homepage and then select "Online Resources" listed under the search bar. Select 'Nursing' from the Subject drop- down menu and browse through the available databases or search in the individual journal titles.
