Provides links and videos for graduating nursing students who are interested in life long learning and accessing articles and information after graduation.

Acquiring Full Text

Your best source of information is a health sciences library. Check to see if you have access to:

  • Some databases, such as PubMed (click on Free Full Text) and ProQuest Central (click on Full Text), have a filter button that allows you to limit your search results to the full text available in that database.
  • A staffed hospital library, if you are employed by a hospital.
  • The State Library, if you are employed at your state department of health or a public health department.
  • Not in Wyoming? Contact the designated medical resource library for your state. This library will be an academic library that is a member of the National Networks of Libraries of Medicine. (NN/LM)
  • Publishers are an alternative source. In PubMed, click on the publisher button and purchase article directly. Costs will range from free to $75 per article.
