Each year, National Nurses Week celebrates the legacy of Florence Nightingale, a British nurse, social reformer and statistician best known as the founder of modern nursing. The week-long celebration starts on May 6 and ends on May 12—Nightingale’s birthday.

The Drexel University Libraries honors our nursing and health professionals during this week-long celebration—and every week! We offer resources to support our faculty, staff, students and practitioners in the College of Nursing and Health Professionals all year round.

The resources below are just a few of the new nursing-related books, textbooks, and guides we have acquired over the last year. This list is certainly not comprehensive and includes just a few generalist resources that we think will be useful to many Drexel Dragons. Check in DragonSearch for even more resources to help you with your teaching, research, and coursework.
