The <em>AANN Core Curriculum for Neuroscience Nursing, Seventh Edition</em> (2022), edited by Linda Littlejohns, Molly McNett, and DaiWai Olson, is a comprehensive reference and study resource for neuroscience nurses. Published by the American Association of Neuroscience Nurses, it updates a curriculum developed over decades to reflect advances in clinical knowledge, research, and technology.

The book is organized into three sections: neuroscience foundations; neurological diseases and conditions; and care across populations, settings, and the lifespan. Topics range from ethics, nervous-system anatomy, assessment, diagnostic testing, monitoring, and temperature management to stroke, epilepsy, brain injury, spinal disorders, pain, sleep disorders, pediatric and geriatric care, perioperative nursing, and rehabilitation. It includes learning objectives, clinical tables, illustrations, and practical tools.

The curriculum is intended for nurses at varied experience levels and across specialties and care settings, and may support professional certification preparation. The publication notes that clinical practice evolves and advises readers to verify current medication information and use professional judgment when applying guidance. The editors acknowledge the work of previous curriculum leaders, contributors, reviewers, and illustrators.
