ships, we are uniquely positioned to thread
together solutions that address the needs of
every part of the nursing community.

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.”
