Join us in celebrating National Nurses Week. Created by the American Nurses Association (ANA), National Nurses Week takes place every May 6 through May 12 to commemorate Florence Nightingale’s birthday. This year’s theme is “Nurses: Inspire, Innovate, Influence.”

We're so excited to announce that the gold standard for midwifery practice is back with a new edition. Completely updated and revised, Varney’s Midwifery, Sixth Edition reflects current evidence-based guidelines. It addresses care of women throughout the lifespan, including primary care, gynecology, maternity care in a variety of settings, and newborn care.

Having a woman-centered and holistic viewpoint is crucial to providing quality care for women. That's what makes Women’s Gynecologic Health, Third Edition so special. A trusted, comprehensive, and evidence-based text, it encompasses both health promotion and management of gynecologic conditions while providing clinicians and students with a strong foundation in gynecologic care and the knowledge necessary to apply it in clinical practice.With an emphasis on the importance of respecting the normalcy of female physiology, it is an essential reference for all women’s healthcare providers.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the number Americans over age 65, "will more than double between now and the year 2050, to 80 million." As a result, more people will need care than ever before. The recently published Handbook of Geriatric Assessment, Fifth Edition from Editors Terry Fulmer, PhD, RN, FAAN, President, The John A. Hartford Foundation and Bruce Chernof, MD, FACP, President & Chief Executive Officer, The SCAN Foundation takes a contemporary approach in line with patient and family centered care. With contributions from the foremost experts in the field, it contains the latest information on geriatric assessments for older adults.

Nurses have the unique opportunity to contribute to setting health policy agendas at the local, institutional, and national levels. Health Policy: Application for Nurses and other Healthcare Professionals, Second Edition by Demetrius J. Porche provides nursing students with a foundation in U.S. governance structures and processes that influence policymaking, and the civic competence necessary to make an impact.

While not all nurses will become managers, all will become leaders. That’s what makes the recently published Leadership in Nursing Practice: Changing the Landscape of Health Care, Third Edition by Daniel Weberg, Kara Mangold, Tim Porter-O'Grady, and Kathy Malloch so special. With the addition of two new expert authors, it offers nursing students the opportunity to develop the leadership skills they will need to thrive in the field.

Case managers need a trusted study guide to help them study for the Certified Case Manager (CCM) exam offered by the Commission for Case Manager Certification (CCMC). The just published A Case Manager’s Study Guide: Preparing for Certification, Fifth Edition by Nancy E. Skinner and Stefany H. Almaden is just that resource.
