Nursing: Study Resource & Degree Program Information

Nursing is the practice of taking care of others, of doing everything possible to bring an individual who may be sick or ailing to the optimal state of health and functioning that they can achieve. Nurses learn to assess the needs of patients and administer treatments as necessary.

Nursing Books

Nurses need books with detailed equipment regarding pharmaceutical products, established and modern nursing techniques, and other technical nursing information. One good source of nursing books is Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins (LWW.com). A search for nursing will yield a wide range of nursing texts, including “2008 Lippincott’s Nursing Drug Guide,” “ An Introduction to Theory and Reasoning in Nursing” by Betty M. Johnson and Pamela B. Weber and “Basic Statistics for Nursing and Health Professions” by Stacey B Plichta.

Nursing Articles And Databases

You can find articles for your nursing research at your school’s library or at sites like NursingCenter.com, which has links to journal articles, e-newsletters and other clinical resources for those in the nursing profession or who are pursuing a career in nursing.

Online Nursing Journals

Lippincott is also a good source for nursing journals. Go online to LWW.com to find out how to get The American Journal of Nursing, Advances in Nursing Science, Advanced Emergency Nursing Journal and others.

Other Nursing Research Tools

In addition to providing links to nursing articles, NursingCenter.com is a full service resource for those looking to progress in the nursing profession. They have links to drug updates, the “CE Connection” for continuing education ideas in nursing, a career center, links to free nursing videos and a highlight box with the most relevant, up-to-date nursing research and information they have available each day.
