Ascend Learning's Nursing Category is fueled by a commitment to excellence as we support the full learning journey of future nurses. Our nursing brands — ATI, APEA, and NursingCE — offer evidence-based solutions designed to develop practice-ready nurses who are prepared for board certification and clinical practice. We use data analytics and engaging learning tools to help nursing students master core content. And we provide nursing education administrators and faculty with best-in-class support and expertise from some of the sharpest minds in nursing education. We aid nurse educators in understanding students' comprehension based on nearly two decades of data — including more than 12 million proctored assessments — that detail student learning and performance. The result is customers who are confident in their program offerings and positioned for healthy outcomes.
