 Nursing Spectrum is an RN-led
communications company that celebrates nurses and the profession of nursing. Supporting,
recognizing and educating registered nurses is at the heart of all we do. We believe that
no one cares about nurses like nurses do, so our products and services are created
"for RNs, by RNs." Our 13 regional print publications (NurseWeek and Nursing Spectrum titles) reach more than one million nurses and nursing students across the U.S. Our articles are written by RNs who are "in the know." Nursing Spectrum editors hold writers' workshops, an example of our commitment to helping nurses publish their work and get their names in print. Nursing Spectrum and NurseWeek titles have won several Jane Pauley Media Awards from the National Association for Health Care Recruitment, as well as editorial awards from Sigma Theta Tau International, APEX, Western Publication Association, and the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry, and Prized Maggie Awards for excellence in magazine publishing. Our award-winning web sites -- NursingSpectrum.com and NurseWeek.com -- garner nearly two million page views each month, and enable RNs to participate in popular nursing online communities. Nursing Spectrum's "Dear Donna," Donna Cardillo, RN, MA, dispenses real-world career advice and Nancy Brent, RN, JD, ("Brent's Law") discusses legal issues online. Nursing Spectrum and NurseWeek magazines and their accompanying websites are where RNs go first for employment opportunities. Nursing Spectrum's jobs database is the most complete source of current RN employment listings in existence. Nurses are also attracted to Nursing Spectrum because our products celebrate nurses and nursing as an exciting, fulfilling career choice. Nursing Spectrum's "voice" is upbeat and pro-nurse, and the tone is one of validation, encouragement, and support. Nursing Spectrum's Division of Continuing Education is accredited at the highest level by the American Nurses Credentialing Center. The CE division creates mind-stretching Career Fair seminars, home and online self-study modules, and overseas study tours and cruises. "Unlimited CE" and "CE Select" offer individual nurses and organizations the opportunity to purchase continuing education at incredible volume discounts. The award-winning 2006 Nursing Spectrum Drug Handbook and its companion website www.nursesdrughandbook.com help nurses keep up-to-date on new drugs and safe medication administration. Nursing Spectrum has offices in California, Texas, Chicago, New York, Washington DC, Fort Lauderdale, Philadelphia, and Boston. A group of devoted employees produce Nursing Spectrum products with exceptional customer care in mind. RNs permeate the company: all vice presidents of professional services, all editorial directors, and many other positions are held by RNs. Prominent nursing and human resource leaders serve on our regional and national advisory boards. Nurses have affection and respect for Nursing Spectrum and NurseWeek due to our deep, long-standing involvement in the nursing communities we serve. We believe in giving back to the nursing community. Nursing Spectrum sponsors many nursing association and individual projects; scholarships; recognition activities; and causes locally, nationally, and internationally. Nursing Spectrum is a national sponsor of Johnson & Johnson's Campaign for Nursing's Future. Nursing Spectrum is also an official media sponsor of Nurses for a Healthier Tomorrow, a consortium of 43 major nursing associations addressing the nursing shortage with an innovative communications campaign to draw young people into nursing. Through the Gannett Foundation, Nursing Spectrum regularly donates funds to nursing-related associations and causes. In addition to these philanthropic activities, we at Nursing Spectrum believe our greatest contribution is in recognizing, supporting, and celebrating nursing as an honorable, rewarding career filled with passion, joy, and soul.
Patti Rager, RN, MSN, MBA Our mission is to enrich the professional lives of nurses and celebrate

voice within the profession. |
