Nursing Reference Center Plus: Best Evidence for Busy Nurses



Nurses, PCTs, CNAs, and allied health specialists at Ascension have a secret weapon in their back pockets - Nursing Reference Center Plus (NRC-Plus). 

NRC Plus is a website to support clinical care. It’s a great resource for any busy nurse with a question in mind.

NRC Plus is designed to deliver reliable information, quickly. 
It contains:
  • evidence-based care sheets
  • nursing skills procedures and checklists
  • CEU modules 
  • patient handouts
  • "quick lessons" providing concise clinical summaries
  • journal articles 
  • and books.
It’s easy to search NRC-Plus and narrow your results to locate the best answer. Having evidence-based tools at our fingertips helps us deliver top-notch care. NRC-Plus is continuously updated with new medical discoveries, so you can have confidence that you’re using the best available information.



A little-known feature of NRC-Plus is the collection of full-text nursing books. 
Find these under the   “More” tab at the top of the screen [See image above.]
  • AHFS Drug information essentials
  • Davis’s comprehensive manual of laboratory and diagnostic tests with nursing implications
  • Davis’s drug guide for nurses
  • Diseases and disorders: a nursing therapeutics manual
  • Nursing care plans

Ascension subscribes to NRC-Plus for all our associates nation-wide. 
It is accessible in a number of ways:

  • Available as an app for your smartphone or tablet (free download)
  • From home with a password (set up your account from an Ascension computer, then you can connect to NRC+ from anywhere on the Web)
