Nursing: Web Guides & Resources

Healthfinder ® is a gateway consumer health information website whose goal is "to improve consumer access to selected health information from government agencies, their many partner organizations, and other reliable sources that serve the public interest."

An interactive gateway to detailed and comprehensive nursing information that covers reference sources, nursing as a profession, education, nursing specialties and related topics.

A specialty page for nurses from MEDSCAPE, this site includes updates and fulltext articles from the professional literature, links to fulltext journals, e-books and the latest news on developments. The site also provides access to Medline, Toxline and drug information.

This portal is aimed at nurses interested in research, education and management. It provides links to the resources in each of those areas, and offers fulltext of publications sponsored by the NLN. A Primary publication is the list of Essential Nursing References, produced every two years.

Web portal of resources for nurse professionals. Operated by National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM).

GARD maintains a list of rare diseases and related terms to help people find reliable information. In the United States, a rare disease is defined as one that affects fewer than 200,000 people. The prevalence of a rare disease usually is an estimate and may change over time. Inclusion in GARD's list does not serve as official recognition by the NIH as a rare disease and should not be used to assume that a disease is rare.
