Provide an integrated learning experience that students need to become effective nurses

At Wolters Kluwer, we understand that preparing tomorrow’s nursing workforce starts with a student’s very first course and continues throughout their education journey. That’s why our comprehensive online Fundamentals and Skills Suite delivers a robust set of essential skills for student nurses and meets their needs throughout the curriculum and in preparation for the Next Generation NCLEX® (NGN).

Easily integrated into your curriculum, the suite engages students with interactive case studies, videos, and adaptive learning tools and simplifies instruction with the continuity and consistency of the Taylor teaching approach.

From content on Social Determinants of Health, health equity, and person-centered care to care priorities of LGBTQIA+ patients, the titles are regularly updated and revised with the latest evidence-based practice to keep tomorrow’s nurses at the forefront of today’s changing healthcare environment.
