OpenRN

  Here is a link to the full report provided to the Department of Education. Here is a high level overview of the project’s accomplishments this quarter: Google Analytics data continues to show broad international usage of Open RN textbooks with over 7.5 million page views by over 3 million international users. Additionally, 58 colleges and universities across the United States have adopted one or more print versions of the Open RN textbooks and 598 institutions have downloaded XanEdu’s free PDFs of Open RN print versions. A sixth OER nursing textbook entitled Advanced Nursing Skills completed the peer review process in February and will be published by May 2023. An affordable print version is anticipated to be available in bookstores and on Amazon by September 2023. Based on WTCS faculty request, skills demonstration videos were also created and embedded within the book, as well as uploaded to the Open RN YouTube channel
