I'm a nursing major. How do I find articles by nurse authors?

1018 views   |   0 Vote this question as useful.   0 Vote this question as not useful.   |   Last updated on Jul 07, 2025    article journals nursing

 

There is no single way, but here are some tips (the video above shows tips 1 and 3, step-by-step):

1. You can add 

AND nurs*

to your keyword search in any of our databases or MCC Library OneSearch. This will look for some form of the word nurse in the title, abstract, and subject tags of the articles.

2. You can choose "advanced search" in EBSCO databases (including OneSearch, the PICO search box, and CINAHL) and find options to check off for nursing. In CINAHL you can choose nursing under Journal Subset and you can check "Any author is a nurse," a box just above the Journal Subset box. In other databases you can choose Nursing and Allied Health as a discipline. 

Please ask a librarian if you need help with these strategies.

Also, see our Nursing and PICO research guides.

If your EasyLogin works for Canvas, SIS and your college email and you are only having a problem accessing library resources:

  • Try clearing your "cache" in your browser (ctrl-shift-del on windows -- command-shift-del on mac) OR try a different browser
    • If those commands don't work look for instruction at https://clear-my-cache.com    
    • Pro tip: you might have to close the browser after you clear your cache and reopen)
    • This can sometimes help with Canvas access errors, too
    • If you take classes at more than one NH community college, try using a different browser for each library
  • Try waiting a few minutes and trying again.
  • If that doesn't help, please contact the library in any of the ways listed on this page.
    • Please take a screen shot  or photo of the error you are getting to help identify the problem.
    • Also let us know if you're registered for classes at any other NH community college
