“We believe the publication of free peer-reviewed nursing materials is essential to open the doors for students who wish to attend nursing school and support these essential areas. The reality is many reconsider their choice due to the high and rising costs of course materials,” said Anthony Palmiotto, director of higher education at OpenStax. ?? The full line of the highly anticipated 8-textbook nursing textbooks from OpenStax and Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board are now almost fully available, for free, on openstax.org! The final title, "Medical-Surgical Nursing" is currently offered as a preview and the full text will be online in early October. Read the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/gywpS_7c
