News - "Promise on Parnassus"

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of UCSF School of Nursing (see centennial website), the Press has published "Promise on Parnassus: the First Century of the UCSF School of Nursing" (2007) by Associate Dean Emerita Marilyn E. Flood.

Other Projects

Culture and Clinical Care was released in April 2005. Revised and expanded, the new edition replaced Culture and Nursing Care: A Pocket Guide (1996). This new version boasts eleven additional cultural groups and updates of the groups previously featured in the old edition as well as a new user friendly format. Culture and Clinical Care is no longer spiral-bound and is trade paperback size.

An updated second edition of the popular Women's Health Care: Protocols for Practice was released in January 2004.
