Need to find articles published in nursing journals?  Searching in CINAHL ULTIMATE is the most efficient way to do just that!

First, navigate to the Advanced Search screen by clicking/selecting "Advanced Search" on the right side of the search screen directly above the search box. Next, use the search boxes at the top of the page to input keywords related to your topic but don't click search just yet!

Scroll down the page and select "Filters:" (it should be the first option tab under the search boxes):

You may have to scroll a bit, but keep your eye out on the left for the Journal Subset limiter. Use the drop down menu to select "Nursing."

CINAHL Journal Subset filter drop down menu.

This will limit your search to Nursing journals. If you need articles published in a certain time frame, for example published in the last five years, you can use the Publication Date filter, also in this Filters menu, to limit to that time frame.  

Now you are ready to click/select Search and view your results. Please reach out if you have any questions.
