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

Organized into three sections, the book covers foundational neuroscience concepts; neurological diseases and conditions; and care across age groups, settings, and stages of recovery. Topics range from ethics, nervous-system anatomy and physiology, neurological assessment, diagnostic testing, monitoring technologies, and temperature management to conditions such as stroke, epilepsy, brain and spinal tumors, traumatic injuries, movement disorders, infections, pain, and sleep disorders. It also addresses pediatric and older-adult care, perioperative practice, and rehabilitation.

The curriculum includes learning objectives, clinical tools, tables, and illustrations to support study and practice. It is intended for neuroscience nurses at different experience levels and may help prepare readers for professional certification examinations. The publisher notes that nursing practice and treatment recommendations change over time; clinicians should consult current drug information and use professional judgment when applying guidance to individual patients.
