Mosby's Nursing Skills, the online nursing skills and reference system from STM publisher Elsevier, recently announced the launch of Mosby's Nursing Skills-Pediatric Collection. Numbering over 320 topics, Mosby's Nursing Skills-Pediatric Collection is claimed to be the largest and most robust collection of pediatric-specific web-based competencies. The product is Elsevier's latest to deliver evidence based medicine electronically to help healthcare institutions improve the quality of care.
The Pediatric collection was created from two leading peer-reviewed references published by Elsevier - the current editions of AACN's Procedure Manual for Pediatric Acute and Critical Care and Wong's Nursing Care of Infants and Children. For learners, the new product features rationales for all steps, checklists, online testing, over 970 illustrations, and step-by-step video demonstrations or animations with voiceover and close captioning. Included are references to evidence-based information and enhanced learning by providing clear rationales. The testing process feature provides instant feedback and concept reviews to help learners master the competencies and develop clinical reasoning skills.
Launched in May of 2006, Mosby's Nursing Skills is designed with the help of nurses, nurse managers, and nurse educators to meet the training needs of present day's healthcare institutions. The current collection is adapted from several industry-leading references, including Perry & Potter's Clinical Nursing Skills and Techniques, 6e; Proehl's Emergency Nursing Procedures, 3e; and AACN's Procedure Manual for Critical Care, 5e. Mosby's Nursing Skills is claimed to be the only online competency development tool with testing functionality that now offers more than 320 pediatric-specific skills and over 510 adult skills. The product is endorsed by AACN and has been adopted by several high-profile institutions.
