You may have spotted us out and about recently! We’ve been visiting freshers’ events, uniform fittings and induction days to welcome new and returning student nurses.

As one of the great student benefits of RCN membership, the library is here to support you throughout your studies. Our Student Library Guide is a great place to start.

Discover thousands of nursing ebooks and journals, explore our subject guides, access the Royal Marsden Manual, and get help with searching, referencing and reflective writing. You can also find out about free postal book loans, our study spaces and the support available from our library team.
