Welcome to the STCC Library's Nursing Libguide

Finding reliable resources in a library can be daunting. This guide will help you find reliable, peer-reviewed periodical articles that you can always retrieve in the STCC Library, or on campus. Most are also available from home. Use this guide as a reference when you forget what was discussed in your library session.
