Elsevier's ScienceDirect includes updated scientific research from a variety of disciplines, including Nursing & Allied Health. ScienceDirect includes the full-text of many highly-cited journals in nursing, like Intensive and Critical Care Nursing, Nursing Outlook, Applied Nursing Research, Journal of Pediatric Nursing, Nurse Education in Practice, and more. By searching your topic in ScienceDirect, you can find: case reports, research articles (original studies that often took place a couple years ago), conference abstracts (the latest original research, which may still need additional peer review; helpful for identifying researchers studying topics that matter to you and your patients), systematic reviews and meta-analyses (reviews of findings from multiple studies to build the evidence base for a particular treatment or intervention), and more types of articles and books!
ScienceDirect offers Topic Pages which provide definitions and related research on scientific and medical terms. These pages can be a helpful refresher for studying and familiarizing yourself with unfamiliar concepts in related fields. Topic pages also point to the latest research on a condition or treatment.
