The <em>AANN Core Curriculum for Neuroscience Nursing, Seventh Edition</em> (2022) is a comprehensive educational and reference text published by the American Association of Neuroscience Nurses. Edited by Linda Littlejohns, Molly McNett, and DaiWai Olson, it brings together contributions from neuroscience nursing and related clinical specialists.

Organized into three sections, the curriculum covers foundational neuroscience concepts, neurological diseases and conditions, and care across populations and settings. Topics range from ethics, nervous-system anatomy and physiology, neurological assessment, diagnostic testing, monitoring technology, temperature management, and consciousness to conditions such as stroke, epilepsy, infections, movement and neuromuscular disorders, tumors, traumatic injuries, pain, headaches, and sleep disorders. It also addresses pediatric and older-adult care, perioperative nursing, and rehabilitation, and includes guidance on standardized test preparation.

The book is intended for neuroscience nurses at different stages of practice, from learners and exam candidates to experienced practitioners, across inpatient and outpatient, medical and surgical, and pediatric and geriatric settings. Its tables, figures, and clinical reference materials support learning and practice. The editors acknowledge the many past contributors to earlier editions and the authors, reviewers, and illustrators involved in this edition.
