LWW is part of Wolters Kluwer Health, a leading global provider of information, business intelligence and point-of-care solutions for the healthcare industry.

For more than 40 years, AJN's Book of the Year Award competition draws annually hundreds of submissions by authors from various fields in the nursing profession.
