PubMed for Nurses

Darnall Medical Library can now offer 1 contact hour for completion of the class PubMed for Nurses. The class is accredited by the Texas Nurses Association (TNA), an accredited approver of CNE by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation. CNE accreditation by TNA is recognized by all U.S. states except California, Florida, and Iowa. In the class, RNs will enhance their research and clinical assessment skills and abilities by using PubMed to obtain evidence-based nursing information relevant to their practices. The library will offer the class regularly, but departments may request special sessions.
