PubMed via UCSF
Contains nursing literature as well as literature from many other biomedical fields.
Use the nursing subset on the Limits page to restrict to nursing journals.
Many MeSH (medical subject headings) allow you to apply a /nursing subheading to get at nursing-related ideas.

“Clinical queries” makes it easy to find evidence-based information. (pre-formulated search filters for diagnosis, therapy, etiology and prognosis questions)

For full text access, use PubMed via a UCSF networked computer.
Freely available at www.pubmed.gov, but no full text, only abstracts when available.

Tutorial Good overview of features and functions. Takes a while (30-45 minutes) but is worth the trouble.
