Sorry, I need generic research advice

I know everyone groans about these requests, but I'm totally frustrated. I'm trying to do my homework and need access to nursing journal articles. I'm thwarted at every turn!

I can't find any sites that don't charge from $17-$30 per article or make you buy a year's subscription. I find abstracts for free but that's not going to cut it. I need data from 1998 to present.

I tried using my school's internet library access. The school is 5 hours from where I live... I only go to the 'branch' school with a teensy library. Would you believe (I know you would) that all the sources they have on the website have to be accessed from the MAIN LIBRARY branch only??? *rips hair out*

If my only recourse is to drive to the hospital during the week and request access to their library, I will. However, I do live in a rural area and am not too sure what kinds of resources they'll have for me.

Anyone? Anyone? Suggestions for free websites to access nursing journals??? I can be flexible with the topics covered, if only I could freaking access a site or two. Thanks!

Specializes in LTC, ER, ICU,.

we have access to our state's virtual library that we obtain through our school's library. the crieteria was to submit the application in person and wait 24 hours before being able to gain access to site with a password.

we can use the school's library computers, one's personal computer and the public library's computer.

maybe you can ask your instructor to see if she/he can get passwords for the individual students for usage at home.

all the best on your assignment.
