Need help finding a nursing article

Published

I need to find a nice article on nursing and the patient experience. Needs to be something like a story of patient(s) lives being touched by a nurse, or some kind of literature regarding the holistic nature of the patient and on caring and how it's demonstrated.

Does anyone have any ideas or leads where I can find article or two about this? I appreciate any help I can get!

Thanks so much.

What resources does your school offer? They should provide you with access to various article databases such as CINAHL.

They do but I'm not sure how to find this type of article. I guess I will try my luck. Thought maybe someone might have a good article in mind :\

Try using different key words if what you've been entering isn't giving you what you need. Keywords and Queries

I'd look for some peer-reviewed nursing journal articles. A few journals that come to mind are the Journal of Holistic Nursing, the Journal of Hospice and Palliative Nursing and the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine.

As far as a story about a patient being touched by a nurse, I'm sure you could find one of those in almost any nursing journal if you look through a few issues.
