Nursing : Books & Videos

• Circulating books will give you more in-depth information than a reference book. They may go into more detail on a specific topic.
  
• Often, a chapter or two will be enough to meet your research needs. Use the table of contents in the front or the index in the back to determine what pages you need to consult.
  
• Most medical books also contain extensive  lists of references that point you to even more relevant resources.

Educational videos and documentaries are another good source of information and are great resources for enhancing presentations. Check these out:
