Newswise — Waltham — January 19, 2024 — The American Journal of Nursing (AJN) has awarded Wolters Kluwer Health with eight Book of the Year awards, showcasing the company’s ongoing leadership in and dedication to the nursing industry. The accolades recognize excellence across several industry focus areas including adult primary care, nursing education/professional development, digital products, medical-surgical nursing and nursing research.
Since its initial publication in 1969, AJN’s Book of the Year program has been a prestigious competition that the nursing industry turns to for trusted recommendations and to inform purchasing decisions. The awards span 20 categories and are closely followed by the journal’s readership which is comprised of nurses in clinical settings, faculty, and researchers, as well as librarians in hospitals and universities.
“The AJN Book of the Year awards are always an exciting kick-off to the New Year, as the nursing industry eagerly awaits which titles and technologies will top the list. Wolters Kluwer takes immense pride in having our software solutions, titles and services being honored on this list,” said Julie Stegman, Vice President, Health Learning & Practice at Wolters Kluwer Health. “In multiple instances these award-winning offerings were created through key relationships with organizations like the National League for Nursing and Laerdal to bring trusted resources and expertise to the industry. Through these collaborations, we can execute on a shared vision of promoting excellence in nursing education and support the advancement of the nursing profession overall.”
