Why should I adopt your textbook and how it is different from other textbooks on the market?

Hi, I’m Dr. Carrie Jarosinski, author of CNA Nursing Assistant Certification California Edition and August’s Nurse Assisting The Complete Guide, and here to answer that question.

I’ve been an instructor for almost two decades. I know how hard it is to align what a textbook teaches to what students will see in real life once they enter the workforce.

As an instructor I was tired of constantly telling my students “This is what the book says but this is what you will see once you go to clinicals”

I wrote these books so I wouldn’t have to say that anymore, and now you don’t either!

These books were based in real-world learning from the start. Rooted in evidence, with down-to-earth, common-sense learning, all while instilling compassion for others in your students.

Most textbooks in the market were written decades ago and are simply updated with new guidelines and procedures, but not these textbooks. When we update our textbooks we not only review new practices and guidelines, but look at what students and instructors need to truly be successful. Then, we incorporate new and innovative ways to help you reach those goals.

These books meet students where they are with understandable language and interventions that are supportive of the current health care delivery system.

With new instructor resources regularly added to our Free Instructor Portal you will stay on top of current practices and have innovative teaching strategies on hand.

Students also have real-time resources at their fingertips, literally. Students can use their phones to scan QR codes placed throughout the text giving them access to additional supportive information to make study time more impactful. This additional content helps them connect written content to relatable hands-on information in real time outside of the classroom.

If that sounds like the kind of content, resources, and support you need for your course, then our textbooks are going to be a great fit. And, once you decide to adopt these textbooks for your course, August Learning Solutions is there for you from start to finish to ensure a smooth transition for you and your students.
