Philadelphia, PA, May 6, 2014 /3BL Media/ – Elsevier, a world-leading provider of scientific, technical and medical information products and services, in honor of National Nurses Week (May 6-12), has organized several campaigns, opened access to top-cited nursing research and written about the status and future of the nursing profession.
A centrepiece of Elsevier’s activities celebrating National Nurses Week 2014 – and International Nurses Day on May 12, with the theme of “A Force for Change, A Vital Resource for Health” – is a special new video, “Here’s to Nurses.”
In today’s health care system, nurses increasingly are counted on to know more, obtain more professional qualifications, publish peer-reviewed research and be responsible for more care coordination of their patients than ever before. At the same time, the supply of nurses and nurse educators remains tight. Now more than ever, we must support the women and men who decide to work in this highly valued profession.
“We at Elsevier spend a great deal of time and effort helping nurses become educated for their careers, stay current with the latest continuing education, and practice their profession supported by high-quality content and electronic workflow tools,” said Jay Katzen, President, Elsevier Clinical Solutions. “We are proud to show our support for the people and the profession that increasingly is becoming the lynchpin of health care systems across the world.”
