Nursing is more than a profession — it’s a calling. Nursing students aspire to score the highest results and become well-rounded nursing professionals — which requires equal parts IQ and EQ. This unique trait of nursing is the backbone of our solutions for nursing education.

Elsevier accompanies millions of generations of nurses

200 years ago, Florence Nightingale laid the foundations of the nursing profession, demanding continuous training, specialisation and recognition of the role of Nursing in the health field.

Today, the World Health Organization recognises and consolidates this work, celebrating the year of the nurse throughout 2020. Elsevier joins this initiative and accompanies millions of generations of nurses from their first steps in their nursing education to their clinical practice.
