eResources
Clinical instructors, preceptors, field instructors, and other credentialed adjunct faculty may access a limited set of PNWU’s licensed databases. Please refer to Accessing Licensed Electronic Resources for more information and to request a log-in. Permissions are limited by our vendor agreements, and are subject to change without notice. Accounts expire each year on June 30 for instructors who have had no teaching activity within the past 12 months.
Once your PNWU login has been created, you can access the approved databases. Please make sure you follow the instructions sent by PNWU Technology Services to create a secure password before you attempt to log in to licensed resources.
Note: the PubMed@PNWU link will not work with your login.
You can access many full text articles when you search directly in MEDLINE Complete or CINAHL Complete. You can also search with pubmed.gov and request articles through interlibrary loan (see video below). If you don’t have a PNWU login you can still order articles through PNWU Library as long as your clinical instructor appointment is in good standing. Please include your full name and contact info with your request.
For the best results, please use the links to resources listed below.
