Nursing

Theory and practice wrapped up

Crossing the McGraw Hill and Open University Press imprints, we offer a huge range of resources for nursing – first-year textbooks, specialist upper-level titles, and courseware such as our amazing interactive anatomy atlas, and virtual labs in Anatomy & Physiology, Human Biology, Medical Assisting and Microbiology. 

Open University Press has a large catalogue for nursing, from top-selling titles like Aveyard’s Doing a Literature Review in Health and Social Care, to a wide variety of titles for first year and beyond, such as Essentials of Pharmacology for Nurses, The Student Nurse's Guide to Successful Reflection, or Communication Skills for Mental Health Nurses.

On top of this we publish market-leading titles in Anatomy & Physiology, such as Holes' Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology (Welsh) and Seeley's Anatomy & Physiology (VanPutte).  Hole's Essentials is the first title to be mapped at a highly granular level in our Connect platform to the new biosciences learning outcomes for pre-registration nursing education, created by the Bioscience in Nursing Education group.

SmartBook 

The SmartBook is an interactive, enhanced edition of our core textbooks that enable you as an instructor to assign readings at a concept level - so they are highly targetted and draw students attention through highlighting to the key information you want them to take away - saving them tons of time.

What's more the Smartbook will pose questions to the student to verify their understanding, and provide instant feedback, directing them back to the right section of the book to help them master weaker concepts. In addition, this data is all available to you as the instructor so you can see a) whether they have completed assigned readings and b) where there might be common problems in undertanding across the class. 

 

Anatomy & Physiology Digital Suite with Virtual Labs, APR, Practice Atlas and PhILS

Anatomy and Physiology Revealed

APR offers a full educational experience for all students, including realistic dissections, anatomical and 3D models, animations, histology, and imaging in an engaging, easy-to-navigate platform accessible anytime, anywhere.

Available in Connect and as an eBook through the Read Anywhere App.

Virtual labs

A fully online lab solution that can replace, prepare, supplement, or make labs to bridge the gap between lab and lecture.

These lab simulations help students learn the practical and conceptual skills needed to understand the lab environment. In addition, students can check their understanding of the tasks and receive instant feedback. As instructors, you can fully personalise each assignment your students are allocated, thanks to adaptive pre-lab and post-lab assessment questions.

Practice Atlas

Practice Atlas for Anatomy & Physiology is an engaging, interactive version of the traditional anatomy atlas. Students can layer images of common anatomical models with life-like human cadaver photography.

PhILS (Physiology Interactive Lab Simulations) 

Physiology Interactive Lab Simulations are 42 self-contained laboratory simulations that may be used to supplement or replace wet labs. PhILS allows students to perform experiments according to their own schedules, without expensive lab equipment or risk of harm to themselves or live animals.

Case studies

Watch our webinar ‘Evolving Higher Education: Teaching the Nursing Student of Today’ to find out how McGraw Hill has been working in partnership with clinical and academic experts including Dr Alison Wood from Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh and Prof. Gabrielle Finn from University of Manchester, to create an all-in-one solution to the challenges of teaching Biosciences to large nursing cohorts with mixed levels of time, confidence and experience.

Marie Meskell, Senior Academic Consultant McGraw Hill and former Senior Instructional Designer and Carmel Davies, Associate Dean for Teaching & Learning at the School of Nursing, Midwifery and Health Systems, UCD discuss how they have used Connect, in conjunction with badging features of their LMS to develop active learners using adaptive courseware.

Create your bespoke nursing package

There's a lot on offer - so much so that it might be a little overwhelming!

We want to put learning resources into as many hands as possible, but we know that library budgets are tight and that many students are struggling with the cost of living as it is.

That’s why we offer a range of different options – from small custom eBook bundles to whole subject collections with courseware wrapped in – at a flat fee for unlimited concurrent usage with incredible economies of scale. 

Whatever your needs we can work with you to help you decide on the best package. We can link you up to our library aggregator partners for the best deal on eBook collections, help you get set up with Connect and the A&P digital suite, or simply recommend the best textbook and additional reading to match your curriculum.

Please get in touch using the form link below, and we'll get back to you to arrange a convenient time to chat about your requirements. 

Simply tick the 'Talk to an Academic Consultant' box under Reason for Contact and just write nursing when prompted for more information.
