Nursing and Allied Health Database is a ProQuest database of journals, articles, reference book chapters, training videos, multicultural reports, and study paths, covering nursing and allied health.

ProQuest is a database platform/vendor that is similar to EBSCOhost. It has a strong collection of health-related databases. 

When you access this database you should get the Advanced Search screen. There are 2 lines of search but you can add extra lines.

• ProQuest databases default to a keyword search. You don't need to put the AND operator between multiple search terms. If you want to search for a phrase, you should enclose it in double quotation marks.

• By default, you will be searching in Anywhere except full text - ALL. This means that your search will be across all fields of the bibliographic record, but NOT in the full text (if there is any).

• You can look up, and search by, MeSH terms, as well as by other subject headings, but you can't "map to" or "match" a MeSH term.

• You can do a proximity search: the proximity operator is NEAR/n, where n is the number you specify. Eg. "speech pathology" NEAR/4 australia*

• Many articles will be available in full-text. For articles that aren't available in full-text, click on the Find a Copy link to search for the article in other CSU databases.

• If you wish to permanently save articles and searches, or set up search alerts, you need a My Research account in ProQuest.
