Nursing Students: Lexi-PALS Drug Guide

Knowing this may save you time. Lexi-PALS Drug Guide is part of the Health Source: Nursing Academic Edition database that you can acccess from the library page--wwww.goodwin.edu/library. On the page, click on Find journals. In the list of databases, choose Health Source. Try it out with prozac in the search box.

Lexi-PALS Drug Guide is a database of Patient Advisory Leaflets from Lexi-Comp that provides vital education on medications for patients. The database consists of over 1,450 medication and natural product leaflets, with an additional 600 Spanish language leaflets representing the most subscribed and commonly used medications.The approach for each pamphlet is to present each medication in an easy to follow and understandable question-and-answer format.

By the way, this database also provides nearly 550 scholarly full text journals focusing on many medical disciplines. Also featured are abstracts and indexing for nearly 850 journals. Coverage of nursing and allied health is particularly strong, including full text from Creative Nursing, Issues in Comprehensive Pediatric Nursing, Issues in Mental Health Nursing, Journal of Advanced Nursing, Journal of Child & Adolescent Psychiatric Nursing, Journal of Clinical Nursing, Journal of Community Health Nursing, Journal of Nursing Management, Nursing Ethics, Nursing Forum, Nursing Inquiry, and many more. (Doesn't this make up just a little bit for the powerpoint thing?)
