Library Services & Resources for Nursing StudentsKristy Padron, MLISFAU Libraries
In the past, what was known (or believed) about smoking cigarettes
or getting a suntan?
Take The Nursing Topic Challenge!
“Your Throat Protection against irritation against
cough.”
“Quickly and conveniently, that healthy, handsome vacation
look can be yours!”
Lifelong Learning & Scholarship
• Health information is always changing.• New treatments or protocols replace
what was standard care.• Information about new or emerging
topics, populations, or areas of nursing are mainly communicated through scholarly, professional publications.
The FAU Libraries can help find this information!
Orientation Goals
Nursing students will be able to……identify services & information
resources at the FAU Libraries.…locate sources of assistance in the
Libraries.
