New Books, New Partnership: Discover the Latest in Nursing at Durham Tech Library

New books on nursing at Durham Tech Library
Durham Tech Nursing students should seek out our Nursing Subject Research Guide for additional resources

The library is happy to share WRAL’s new story regarding Durham Tech’s new Academic Practice Partnership with Duke Health, which aims to “streamline the education and employment journey for students [who are earning a degree to become a registered nurse].”

Leading nursing students to quality information and scholarly resources is one of our vital responsibilities as librarians and we are frequently adding new resources to keep up with the challenging pace of healthcare developments following the COVID-19 pandemic.

While nursing students might primarily know the library for our access to Board Vitals, CINAHL Plus, and science databases such as ScienceDirect, the library is frequently adding high-quality books on the career and specific medical practices learned by our hard-working students in nursing programs. Prepare for a career in the field or sharpen your knowledge of current practices and nursing topics with these new nursing titles.

Films on Demand: Nursing Current Concepts and Practices Collection

Posted on by

Calling all nursing students and instructors—we have a new audio and video collection for you!

Films on Demand Nursing Collection

Nursing: Current Concepts and Practices Collection from Films on Demand is designed to help students pass licensure exams and prepare for long-term job success. 

It includes titles from the last 5 years from trusted nursing education sources such as Medcom-Trainex, Elsevier, Medivision, American Academy of Pediatrics, and more! 

Because this is a database of only video and audio resources, it’s perfect for visual and auditory learners (and those who don’t have a preference but want to switch it up). 

Stuck in traffic? NCLEX coming up? It’s the perfect time to listen to a nursing podcast such as Nurse-Led Rapid Responses

Films on Demand is mobile friendly too, so you’re not tied to your computer. You can download the Films on Demand app from either Google or Apple and have it ready to go on your phone. 

Off-campus access is easy– just log in with your Durham Tech username and password (same as for Sakai or Self-Service) when prompted. 

Instructors can embed links to videos in your Sakai pages, create and share video playlists for your students, or even create quizzes. All videos have captions, interactive transcripts, citations, translation options, and public performance rights. Remember to use the Share button to get the link in order for everyone to access materials off-campus.
