NR449- Evidence Based Practice

What I normally do is look into my local colleges library page and see what they have under nursing. Sometimes even the local library. For example my school I can go to their site and click on research support, search databases by subject and it will give me multiple ones. Hope that helps :) I'm on my phone so I can't look them up individually for you but that will steer you in the right direction.

Up to date (www.uptodate.com/home) and Cochrane (www.cochrane.org) are great resources.

I will check those out. Heading on a long flight tomorrow with wifi and hoping to get a lot of research complete. :)

Assignment is complete. Here's my list, for future students to explore:
