ships, we are uniquely positioned to thread

together solutions that address the needs of

every part of the nursing community.

“ IT IS A CHALLENGE TO KEEP UP WITH ACCREDITATION CHANGES AND HEALTHCARE ITSELF – HOW CAN WE EMBED INFO ON THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT INTO OUR COURSE CURRICULUM?”

DEAN***

“ EVERYBODY HAS TO ADJUST TO THE TECHNOLOGY CHANGES.”

DEAN

Our commitment begins with up-to-

date, evidence-based content that aligns

with accreditation standards and that

provides you with the flexibility you need

to offer your students the right amount

of information when and how they need

it. Whether your curriculum follows a

concept-based or more traditional ap-

proach, we offer tools and solutions that

address the compelling challenges ad-

ministrators and faculty are facing today,

including:

Ensuring practice competency. With deep roots in both nursing

practice and nursing education, we understand that it is the combina-

tion of learning and hands-on practice that produces competency

and inspires confidence. We are the only provider truly connecting

nursing education with the transformation taking place in nursing

practice today. Our solutions ensure that nurses graduate with the

strong critical thinking skills and rapid-decision-making abilities that

healthcare providers demand of competent-to-practice nurses.

Engaging today’s learners. Today’s students range from millennials

to those re-entering the workforce or seeking an advanced degree.

Regardless of their phase in life, they have in common the desire to

learn efficiently. We help you meet students where they are, offering

solutions that work for every learning style, allow self-direction, and

offer an unprecedented level of engagement and personalization.

Safeguarding your accreditation and promoting student

success. We provide the very best in NCLEX preparation resources

– from foundational content to adaptive learning tools, to evidence-

based practice resources. Our solutions enhance student success

in multiple ways, from increasing pass rates on the NCLEX to

identifying at-risk students early for immediate remediation to

deepening student knowledge acquisition.

Navigating a complex and ever-changing healthcare landscape.

To help your students focus on the right content at the right time,

we’ve created online learning environments that make it possible for

learners to access the latest best practice, evidence-based content

with just one click. Our solutions are thoughtfully linked to one

another using SmartSense remediation, making the user experience

seamless.

Managing increased demands. Our technology-driven online

resources and simulation tools confront head-on two of the most

significant issues in nursing education today: lack of classroom space

and the shortage of clinical hours in the curriculum. Online solutions

address capacity issues that are the result of higher enrollments,

while our simulations allow learners to train in a safe environment

that “simulates” clinical experience.

Solutions you can trust

The array of resources available can be dizzying. Our SmartSense

remediation technology links our education and practice solu-

tions together for pinpoint learning. Learners are immersed in an

engaging environment where key information is just a click away.

Critical thinking and skills development tools link to evidence-based

content that is currently in use in over 1700 acute and sub-acute

hospitals across the continent. This comprehensive, integrated solu-

tion helps you retain students who graduate with the competence

and confidence they need to succeed in complex clinical settings.

“ NURSING PROGRAMS ARE MEASURED ON THE SUCCESS OF THEIR GRADUATES. THAT INCLUDES NCLEX BOARD RESULTS AND JOB PLACEMENT OF NEW GRADUATES. CLINICIANS IN PRACTICE MEASURE SUCCESS ON THE ABILITY TO TAKE CARE OF THE PATIENT EFFECTIVELY. WE NEED TO TRANSFORM TRAINING FOR NURSES, BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER THEY RECEIVE THEIR LICENSES TO ENSURE WE ARE EFFECTIVE IN ALL DIMENSIONS.”
