The WHSC Library supports our nursing populations in attaining advanced nursing specialty certifications. Specialty certifications recognize nurses’ skills and knowledge, improve quality of care and health outcomes, and support Magnet status.

Our new online guide helps nurses advance their careers by providing access to reference books that are used for common nurse certification exams. At this guide you’ll find an extensive list of certifications and lists of reference books that are available through Emory Libraries. We hope that you’ll find this to be a helpful resource during your studies!
