The above is only a select list of SPU databases most frequently used when reviewing the nursing literature. There could be times when other databases would be helpful - for example if you were looking for information about nursing malpractice, you might want to search the database 'Legal Collection.'
Not sure which database is best for your topic? Ask a Librarian!
A note about UpToDate and DynaMedEx: These are excellent clinical resources, and they use a high level of evidence to support clinical decision making. This resource can give an excellent overview of the best practices in care and while it will refer to primary resources in the article reference lists, no articles in the database are original research. So if you professor has indicated that you need a nursing research article (or primary literature) the articles found here will not be that source (although you could still use this information in other sections of your paper.)
