Summary
This Nursing Fundamentals textbook is an open educational resource with CC-BY licensing developed for entry-level nursing students. Content is based on the Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) statewide nursing curriculum for the Nursing Fundamentals course (543-101), the 2019 NCLEX-RN Test Plan, the 2020 NCLEX-PN Test Plan, and the Wisconsin Nurse Practice Act.

Learning activities have been incorporated into each chapter to encourage students to use critical thinking while applying content to patient care situations. The Open Resources for Nursing (Open RN) project is supported by a
