Calder Library Resource Guide for Nursing Practice

Welcome to Calder Medical Library Resources Guide for Nursing Practice and Research. This guide will provide essential information for your nursing practice.

There is a separate library guide for students in the University of Miami School of Nursing & Health Sciences on the Richter Library's webpage.

You can navigate this guide by using the links on the Table of Contents box or the Tabs on top of the Calder Medical Library Resource Guide for Nursing.

This is a collection of essential resources for nursing. It's not comprehensive, but it serves the function of locating nursing information, and supporting nursing practice, education, and research activities.  

For assistance with any of these resources, or to find out about other available research and searching options, see the Ask A Librarian page

We always want your feedback! To suggest additions, corrections or changes to the content of the Calder Resource Guide for Nursing page, please send an email to the Reference, Education & Outreach Services department at reference@med.miami.edu
