2024 National League of Nursing (NLN) Education Summit – Virtual Exhibit

We were thrilled to exhibit at the 2024 National League of Nursing (NLN) Education Summit in San Antonio, Texas, September 18 – 20, 2024. We had a great time showcasing our latest titles and meeting with authors and nurses in the field.

We wanted to take another opportunity to share our nursing texts, written by notable authors and demonstrating the exciting work and thought leadership in the discipline.

Learning Evidence-Based Research Skills the Peak Practice Way: A Beginner’s Guide is the first book in a three-volume series designed to help nurses develop evidence-based research skills. The series leverages Dr. K. Anders Ericcson’s peak practice principles of purposeful practice, adaptability, mental representations, and deliberate practice. The first book in the series focuses on the language and research context of nine basic skills.

Growing into Professional Nursing: An Approach to Confident Practice is designed to help nursing students in their understanding of the role of the nurse and what it takes to successfully become a confident novice caregiver. It fills a gap in introductory nursing titles in that it welcomes the student into practice while providing realistic views of the complexities of the role.

Embark on an innovative expedition with Introduction to Evidence-Based Practice and Quality Improvement for Professional Nursing Practice: A Competency-Based Approach that leads nursing students through a first-of-its-kind framework integrating evidence-based practice (EBP) and quality improvement (QI) methods. Crafted by a diverse and distinguished group of nursing professionals, this book prepares students to achieve EBPQI competency prior to professional entry, marking a paradigm shift that will accelerate the pace of positive change for patients and populations.

Public and Community Health Nursing: Expanding the Learning Experience explores critical issues in public and community health revealed by the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly its impact on the nursing profession and healthcare delivery globally. The book evaluates the recent challenges faced by healthcare professionals and underscores the importance of integrating public and community health into healthcare practice and education. It emphasizes the need to recognize that public and community health are vital for the wellbeing of individuals, families, populations, communities, and global health.

Featuring chapters written by experienced nurses, Interprofessional Leadership for Nurses: Mastering Knowledge, Skills, and Attitudes for Success provides students with salient advice from the field to help them develop into competent and effective health care professionals with leadership skills. Over the course of nine chapters, students examine interprofessional collaboration, leadership styles, communication, professional efficacy, and roles and responsibilities in the context of the nursing profession and the health care team. Additional chapters address respect, conflict management, and the importance of personal health, resilience, and well-being.

In Pediatric Population Health: A Wellness Approach, readers are provided with evidence-based knowledge to facilitate their understanding that creating a healthy, equitable community with collaborative efforts between neighborhoods, health care professionals, financial well-being sectors, public health, and community development can positively impact a child’s health.

Health Policy on the Front Line provides readers with an essential knowledge base in health policy. It serves as a vital guide for students entering the professional healthcare arena as well as established professionals looking to better understand the implications of health policy in their daily work. The book fosters application through relatable examples and case studies, underlining the social and developmental implications of health policy.

The Cognella Series on Public and Community Health Nursing is comprised of a collection of concise, informative guides that explore critical topical areas, their nursing application, and their relationship to nursing practice. The succinct nature of the guides provides opportunity to integrate the content throughout the nursing curriculum with ease.

Focused on the new AACN Essentials and the NAM Future of Nursing 2020-2030 report, each guide highlights a particular subject area that is integral to today’s nursing climate such as health equity, health disparities, vulnerable populations, population health, epidemics and pandemics, public health emergencies, and more.

Additionally, every text includes a set of interactive online activities to support the online learning experience, bring the material to life, and encourage greater engagement. For adopting faculty, an author-facilitated community exists to provide regular updates, information on current events, and new assignment suggestions.

Health Equity and Disparities was awarded third place in the 2022 American Journal of Nursing Book of the Year Awards in the History and Public Policy category. Read the press release.
