What if the small moments ultimately mean the most?
Small moments, big impact: how nurses shape progress
How nurses shape progress
Nursing is more than a profession, it’s a calling. And while grand achievements often take the spotlight, it’s the smallest moments that leave the deepest mark. Consider a nurse holding a patient's hand during a difficult diagnosis—this simple act of compassion can provide the strength needed to face the challenges ahead, ultimately contributing to a successful recovery.
Yet creating these moments amid the complexities of today's care environments can feel challenging. Managing workflows, advancing technologies, and daily responsibilities often makes it difficult to focus on human connection. That's where innovation, evidence-based insights, and supportive tools make a difference—empowering nurses to lead, educate, and care without compromise.
At Elsevier, our purpose is simple but powerful: to give nurses the tools they need to ensure every moment counts.
From technology to transformation
Imagine a digital platform that provides nurses with real-time, evidence-based care guidelines directly at the bedside, enabling them to make confident decisions quickly. Or consider a streamlined care planning tool that reduces documentation time, allowing nurses to focus on meaningful patient interactions, such as explaining a diagnosis or offering emotional support during a challenging moment. Products designed to integrate seamlessly into workflows can offer evidence-based insights and tools to support learning and professional development.
As nurses, we’re really well positioned to work within complex systems and solve problems daily—being able to be adopters of technology, understand its impact to our workflows, and advocate for its effective use fundamentally shapes patient care.

Our clinical nursing solutions make it easier for nurses to deliver impactful care while staying grounded in trusted, actionable information.
When technology is thoughtfully designed, it becomes an extension of nursing care. For newly graduated nurses, adaptive learning platforms and virtual simulations offer a safe way to build confidence and skills. Nurse educators benefit from insights that help shape lessons and strengthen clinical reasoning, while nurse leaders use digital solutions to align team practices with evidence-based standards, fostering collaboration and consistent, high-quality outcomes. Every innovation becomes a building block for better patient care and stronger teams.
Simplifying evidence-based practice
Confident decisions require reliable, evidence-based insights. Nurses need trusted content that enhances their abilities at the bedside, in classrooms, or when leading teams. By equipping them with these tools, they can focus more on delivering compassionate, safe care while staying current with evolving best practices.
Nurses benefit from resources that enable them to:
Navigate complex clinical scenarios with clarity
Build and reinforce critical reasoning skills
Promote consistent, high-quality patient care
From classroom to clinical confidence
Nursing is a lifelong commitment to learning. Whether in nursing school or decades into their careers, every nurse is on a path to growth—adapting to new challenges and sharpening their skills.
Elsevier supports this lifelong learning by bridging education and practice with resources that empower nurses at every stage. From simulation platforms like Shadow Health for students, to advanced tools for seasoned professionals like Clinical eLearning, these resources guide decision-making while fostering confidence and readiness.
It's not only about certifications or technical skills—it's about equipping nurses to make impactful decisions with assurance, precision, and care, regardless of their role or experience level.
The qualities that I believe are most essential for nurses to be effective impact makers are empathy, adaptability, and the ability to listen. And I mean, really listen—whether it's at the bedside or in a boardroom, nurses change lives with presence and with purpose.

Supporting impact makers, together
Our role is to work alongside nurses, not as leaders but as partners, offering meaningful tools to help them succeed. When nurses are supported with trusted resources, they become unstoppable change-makers—mentors to their peers, innovators of care protocols, and advocates for systemic advancements.
Every decision, connection, and moment of humanity builds a brighter future for patients, teams, and the healthcare system as a whole.
What if holding a hand, listening attentively, or explaining a diagnosis became the true benchmarks of care? We believe in the power of these moments to transform. By providing evidence-based insights, learning tools, and adaptable technology, we help nurses amplify the impact of even the smallest actions.
79% of nurses say they would still choose nursing as their career if they had to do it over again, citing the ability to make a difference in patients' lives as the top reason1. Because when nurses feel confident and care with intentionality, their small moments leave an extraordinary legacy—not just for their patients but for the future of healthcare.
Together, we can advance human progress, one decision and one moment at a time.
