Nursing eBooks
The Library cannot provide access to all required texts (many are not available to libraries in e-book formats), but we do have access to the following titles.
Please see the VUSN site for a complete list of required textbooks.
If you don't see something listed, check the catalog to see if we have it and if so let me know and I will get it added. Email me at rachel.l.walden@vanderbilt.edu
Go to the Library Catalog and search by title, changing the format to books.
