The National League for Nursing or NLN has joined with Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (LWW), a division of Wolters Kluwer Health, to develop the scope and reach of its publishing. LWW will be the unique supplier of books and e-books for the National League for Nursing and will offer market development and development assistance for the program. The NLN, the country’s biggest account company for nursing teachers and management in nursing education, will work together with LWW to figure out guide subjects and writers, and will continue to work with NLN associates to ensure that the material satisfies the needs of nursing staff.
As the first stage of this collaboration, LWW is managing the book of three NLN headings which will be presented at the 2012 NLN Education Summit in Anaheim, CA. More than 1,500 of the country’s major medical expert teachers and specialist got involved in this season’s summit last Sept 19-22, 2012. The new releases, available in books and e-books, include:
- Hispanic Voices: Progreso, Poder, y Promesa

As aspect of the collaboration with LWW, NLN associates will get a 20 percent lower price on LWW items LWW and NLN will also perform together to provide member-only involvement possibilities.
“This collaboration allows National League for Nursing to develop the reach of our publishing, and to further drive educational results that eventually improve our country’s health,” says NLN CEO, Beverly Malone, PhD, RN, FAAN, “LWW has the skills to guide us as we build our material profile, help our Facilities for Nursing Education, and help staff advance in their professions. We know we can depend on LWW to extend the impact of our titles and offer our associates with high quality services and assistance.” LWW’s written text and evaluation items, as well as e-books, mobile phone applications, and online alternatives assistance nurses, teachers and both academic and scientific organizations.
