OER Resources for Nursing

Discipline-Specific OER Hubs and Repositories

• OpenStax Nursing Series: A major, professionally peer-reviewed project specifically creating core nursing textbooks (e.g., Fundamentals, Pharmacology, Medical-Surgical Nursing). 

• MERLOT (Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching): Contains a dedicated Health Sciences Portal with tens of thousands of peer-reviewed learning materials, links, and collections.
