Young Library provides several databases for nursing research. These databases are collections of articles and some e-books. These are subscription databases designed for professional research.
All Young Library databases are located on the library web page.

Google Scholar can be used in your research. However, it is not a good starting place, it is much better to use it towards the end of your research process.
