Wolters Kluwer honored with eight AJN Book of the Year award wins

First place winners

• Digital Products/Medical-Surgical category: vrClinicals for Nursing – Wolters Kluwer and Laerdal
  • Judges remarked: “The courses and assignments are easy for faculty to set up, and the ability to quickly toggle from educator view to student view and back is a great option. The virtual environment is easy to navigate, with clear and realistic visuals and scenarios. Notably, students get to see the impact of their decision-making when they see the patient in a second round.”
• Nursing Education/Professional Development category: A Systematic Approach to Evaluation of Nursing Programs (co-published with the National League for Nursing) – edited by Marilyn H. Oermann
  • What the judges had to say: “In today's health care landscape, the quality of nursing education is paramount, and this book offers a comprehensive guide to the evaluation of nursing programs—a topic of critical importance. What sets this text apart is its ability to simplify complex evaluation concepts. Marilyn H. Oermann adeptly takes the often-intimidating process of program evaluation and breaks it down into clear, comprehensible steps.”
