NursingCenter.com Launches New Features to Improve User Experience
Friday, November 21, 2008
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- NursingCenter.com, the premier site
for online nursing continuing education and peer reviewed content, has been
updated to improve the interactive experience for its 350,000 registered
users. Powered by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (LWW), NursingCenter.com now
provides over 900 peer-reviewed continuing education activities and free
access to 11,000 articles from more than 50 leading nursing journals.
Lippincott Williams & Wilkins is a part of Wolters Kluwer Health, a leading
provider of information and business intelligence for students, professionals,
and institutions in medicine, nursing, allied health, pharmacy and the
pharmaceutical industry.
The refreshed NursingCenter.com site offers improved navigation and
search, and new interactive multimedia tools. "For over 20 years, we have
provided comprehensive online content and tools for nurses," said Jennifer
Brogan, Vice President of Nursing Journals. "Our new interactive tools reflect
the changing needs of nurses by offering continuing education via webcasts,
virtual job fairs, and clinical resource centers.
Site improvements developed with input from users include user-friendly
navigation with more content accessible from the home page, improved page
design, and a new top-screen navigation bar.
"We are also updating our search tools so users can search across all
content and media types, both within and outside our site content," said
Brogan. "Users can also save our content and articles in a personal file
drawer, which is helpful for the many nurses who share a computer in the
workplace."
As the leading nursing publisher, LWW recognized early the need for online
clinical information. NursingCenter.com was created in 1986 as an electronic
Bulletin Board Service to help spread clinical information to nurses in rural
areas who would otherwise not have access to the latest journals and
technology. Today NursingCenter.com includes free access to thousands of
articles from more than 50 of LWW's leading peer-reviewed nursing journals,
including the American Journal of Nursing, Nursing2008, Nursing Management,
The Nurse Practitioner, Nursing2008 Critical Care, and many more specialty
journals. Over 350,000 nurses and other clinical professionals are registered
users, which gives them access to the full scope of the site's offerings.
LWW will continue to refine and upgrade NursingCenter.com based on
customer input, and anticipates ongoing quarterly upgrades to the site.
