Nursing Consult no longer available

We support reducing the cost of care at Gundersen Lutheran. Therefore, we analyze the cost and the return on investment of all library resources (both print and electronic) provided to you.

In 2013, the resource, Nursing Consult is no longer available.  Usage statistics, availability of other resources, and cost were considered in this decision. The most used online textbooks and journals through Nursing Consult have either been purchased from another vendor or have been replaced with similar content.  See the chart below.  Please contact Melinda Orebaugh, director, if you have questions or concerns.
