Rosdahl's Textbook of Basic Nursing

By DIANE RUPERT and Deanna Lynn Wolfskeil

Led by Diane Rupert, PhD, RN, CNE, a respected nurse educator and NCLEX(R) expert, the 13th Edition of Rosdahl's Textbook of Basic Nursing brings a fresh, forward-looking perspective to a trusted name in LPN/LVN education. Rupert builds on the longstanding Rosdahl legacy to deliver a more focused, clinically relevant resource for today's students and faculty.

For more than 50 years, Rosdahl's Textbook of Basic Nursing has prepared students for safe practice and NCLEX-PN success. This edition continues that tradition while enhancing clarity, usability, and alignment with current practice. Designed as a comprehensive, all-in-one solution, it supports the full LPN curriculum with short, approachable chapters, engaging visuals, and integrated learning tools that reinforce understanding and retention.

Under Rupert's leadership, this edition strengthens clinical judgment and NCLEX readiness through integration of the Clinical Judgment Measurement Model and a newly added, 2026-aligned NCLEX-PN practice exam designed to mirror the testing experience. Together, these enhancements help students apply knowledge, think critically, and graduate practice-ready for today's healthcare environments.
