Search Tips

There are two ways to limit your search to nursing journals:

A. Find a specific nursing journal - click Publications to find journals; use 'nursing' as your search term and select 'By Subject & Description.'

B. Search within all journals with "Nursing" as a Subject, or for articles with nurses as author - on the initial search screen, choose "Core Nursing" or "Nursing" from the Journal Subset menu, and either the "First Author is a Nurse" or "Any Author is a Nurse" radio buttons (both are selected here to make them more noticeable).
