From Concepts to Care: The Text That Connects Your Curriculum Concepts are the common thread across every nursing course. Nursing Concepts gives students one consistent framework for seeing how concepts connect across specialties, transfer to new patient situations, and guide safe, effective care. Designed for RN and LPN/ LVN programs, this central curriculum text helps students move beyond memorizing diagnoses to understanding the “why” behind the “what”—strengthening clinical judgment and bridging theory with real-world nursing practice. § Concept-based learning framework organizes 44 essential nursing concepts into five categories—Nursing Practice, Person-Centered, Physiological, Psychosocial, and Healthcare Concepts—to help students recognize patterns, make connections, and transfer knowledge across patient care situations. § Three Cs approach (Concept, Clinical Judgment, Context) emphasizes applying conceptual knowledge through clinical judgment in real-world patient scenarios or context. § “Concepts in Action Case Studies” strengthen clinical judgment by engaging students in realistic patient scenarios that require application, prioritization, and decision-making. § “Interconnected Concept Illustrations” help students visualize how nursing concepts relate in patient care—highlighting both the factors that influence, and those influenced by, the concept they’re studying. § Aligned to NCLEX® to support program accreditation, curriculum mapping, and student readiness. § A comprehensive suite of program and instructor resources enables seamless integration into your curriculum. § Author Dr. Linda Caputi is a trusted expert and nationally recognized leader in nursing education who has consulted with over 1,000 schools and written extensively on clinical judgment and curriculum design. Nursing Concepts is available as part of Davis One LPN/LVN. Individual print or eBooks versions do not include access to Davis One. See pages 2-8 to learn more.
