It s 2008 and as usual, we have seen the world of nursing change over the past year. Your students are moving into jobs where a healthy work environment and its effect on them, and their patients, is more of an issue than ever. Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are becoming central to the continuum of healthcare and more prominent in nurse s daily interactions. The way you teach, and your students learn, continues to evolve to integrate the myriad of technologies available, from CD, DVD and web-based solutions to mobile media via podcasts or downloads direct to personal cell phones! This year we are joining you in change as well. You may have noticed we have a new name, Cengage Learning. The name Cengage Learning is derived from the idea of being at the Center of Engagement for our customers. You are the center of our world, where we are committed to helping you deliver the results you want and need through engagement. Building on years of solid publishing experience, we know it is also crucial to stay close to you, listening to your learning and teaching challenges and looking to the future to create innovative solutions. While our name may have changed, our commitment to bringing you the best and broadest range of choice in learning tools and nursing content has not. We are collaborating with you through Nursing Forums throughout the country, National Advisory Boards, at conferences, where you work and where you teach to help you help your students Bridge the Gap from Theory and Research to Practice, from classroom to clinical. Please know that our nursing products continue to reflect the demanding standards created by the nursing editorial team at Cengage Learning. Everything we create is with you, our customer in mind and we ensure we offer the greatest value possible. No matter the specialty area, each and every product incorporates our philosophy of Bridging that Gap through Real-world Applications, Innovation and Caring. We look forward to working closely with you to develop lasting relationships built on quality, service and trust, and to deliver the very best results through engagement. All the best, Jennifer McAvey Vice President, Marketing
