ALERT!  Attempts to Dismantle Wisconsin Nursing Workforce Survey

One June 7, 2023, the Wisconsin State Assembly approved AB 204 that included an amendment which changed the LPN and RN workforce surveys to voluntary and pay $400 to participate. WNA is opposed to AB 204 because it stops the collection of valuable information about Wisconsin’s nursing workforce which impacts the ability to address the concerns that are identified in the report.

Whether a UW-Madison nursing student, staff, faculty, or preceptor, there are many ways the library and its staff can assist you and your research needs. Some of our services are:

• Assistance with searches within PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane, etc.
• Citation management assistance: EndNote, Zotero, etc.
• Bibliometrics or Altmetrics
• Copyright and publishing questions
• Collaboration on literature searches and systematic reviews
• NIH Manuscript Submission System questions
• ORCiD, SciENcv, Federal Agency Public Access Compliance

We encourage you to contact the liaison to answer any question you have concerning library resources, searching tips and tricks, course assistance, or any other need you may have.

NOTE: PubMed, CINAHL, (and other EBSCOHost databases like PsycINFO) can also show how an article can be cited in APA 6th. Click on the article and then look to the right and you should see multiple options; one is "Cite". It will list the correct citation format for APA, AMA, and others.

In PubMed look for "Cite" and change the drop down menu to APA.
