  • From student to nurse: Support the LPN/LVN transition to practice

    Build the essential knowledge and clinical decision-making skills needed for LPN/LVN practice with this proven, learner-centered approach. Kurzen’s Contemporary Practical/Vocational Nursing, 10th Edition, prepares students to communicate effectively, collaborate as part of the healthcare team, and navigate the challenges of today’s clinical environments.

    Grounded in evidence-based practice and aligned with the 2026 NCLEX-PN® exam, the text emphasizes clinical judgment, case-based learning, and applied problem solving. It also fosters leadership, lifelong learning, and career readiness — helping students grow into confident, capable nurses prepared for real-world practice.
