The NLM offers several research tools that are invaluable for nursing professionals:
- MeSH (Medical Subject Headings): A comprehensive controlled vocabulary used for indexing articles in PubMed. Nurses can use MeSH terms to improve the precision of their searches.
- TOXNET: A collection of databases on toxicology, hazardous chemicals, and environmental health. This can be particularly useful for nurses working in occupational health or environmental health settings.
