To research nurse unions, use the library databases CINAHL and ProQuest Central, linked below. Some search terms to try: 

• nurs* AND union*
• nurs* AND "collective bargaining" 
• nurs* AND non-unionized

Some search tips:

• In library databases, the * symbol at the end of a word searches for all endings:
  • nurs* finds nurses, nurse, nursing
  • union* finds union, unions.
• The quotation marks will search those words together as a phrase.

Some things to note:

• If you are off-campus, you will be prompted to sign-in with your student network ID and password.
• Copy and paste the words above or type the two search ideas into the advanced search box in each database. 
• After you click "search" in these databases, you can browse through your results, or narrow it down even further with the limiters on the left-side of the screen.
• You may want to adjust your search words. Check out the subject headings box and select the terms that would be relevant to what you are looking for.
