Prestigious Annual Competition by American Journal of Nursing (AJN) Honors Top Publications for Advancing Health Care
In its 48th annual Book of the Year Awards competition, the American Journal of Nursing (AJN) selected the year’s exceptional texts for their positive impact on the quality of health care and patient outcomes. Among the winners are two recently published National League for Nursing (@NLNursing) titles:

The first section offers the foundational evidence for the ACE.S framework and evaluation of the total project; the second section presents exemplars of how faculty, many of them NLN Hearst Foundations Award winners, applied the ACE.S framework to their unique curricula.
