Empowering Nurses: Resources for Success

National Nurses Week kicks off on May 6th and culminates on Florence Nightingale’s birthday, May 12th. This week serves as a dedicated time to recognize the extraordinary contributions nurses and the nursing profession make to our communities. As the American Nurses Association (ANA) website details, the celebration has since expanded to encompass the entire month of May, acknowledging the vast array of roles nurses play and the profound impact they have on the lives they touch.

As we celebrate National Nurses Month, we’re here to support you! Explore Lane Library’s collection of valuable nursing resources. Our highlighted resources this month are:

CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health)

Delve into CINAHL, a comprehensive database of nursing and allied health journals. Use CINAHL to locate scholarly journal articles, magazine and trade journal articles, evidence-based care sheets, and more. 
Learn more about how best to use CINAHL for your work and research through our free online class, Using CINAHL for Comprehensive Literature Searching, on May 6, 2024, at 11 am.


ClinicalKey for Nursing

Stay current with ClinicalKey for Nursing, a platform containing nursing-specific books, journals, guidelines, and patient education materials. Use this resource to locate current, evidence-based information on conditions, procedures, drugs, and more.
