Want Help Updating Patient Care Policies & Procedures?

Are you updating policies and procedures for patient care?

• Let your Librarians help.
• We can locate current evidence-based practice info
• and help format proper citations to document your practice changes.

o   Hint: Listing a naked url is not enough.  Links go bad, and without additional citation info, it’s difficult to track down what you were referring to.

·         Nursing Reference Center Plus

·         Nursing Point of Care Tools

·         Nursing Specialties LibGuide

·         PubMed (for journal articles, systematic reviews and guidelines0
