What's New at Ascension Wisconsin Libraries?: September 2025

Unfortunately, Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins is no longer offering Nurses Choice / Recommended Reading. Because this has been so popular with our AW nurses, I'm going to try to pick "articles-of-interest" from our Top Nursing Journals from the past few weeks.

Suggest a Nursing Article: If you read a great nursing article recently and want to share it here with your Ascension WI colleagues, contact Michele.Matucheski@ascension.org to have it included in a future ed.

New Point-of-Care Tool: Elsevier Clinical Key Skills

Elsevier ClinicalKey and Clinical Skills is Ascension’s new designated point of care (POC) tools. They will officially go live on Sept. 22. However, starting Sept. 9, associates will be able to access the system prior to the official launch. This early access allows nurses and allied health professionals across Ascension to explore the tools and find the most clinically relevant answers through a wide variety of evidence-based content.

Not just for Nursing: Allied health areas such as PT, OT, Speech, Respiratory, Pharmacy, Imaging, Case Management, and more ... can benefit as well. Elsevier offers

clinical skills procedures
medication information
clinical updates
calculators
patient education
books
journals, and more.

Please note that NRC+ will no longer be available after Sept. 22.

Associates are encouraged to print out any Continuing Education (CE) certificates from NRC+ BEFORE this date to keep for their records. They can access their certificates for earned CEs by visiting ceu.cinahl.com and navigating to their transcript. If they haven't printed CEs before, they may need to create an account to access their transcript.

Transition from NRC Plus to Elsevier for CEUs

Transitioning from NRC+ to Elsevier aligns with our Mission of caring for those in need, especially the most vulnerable, to enhance access to care and unify our resources across the system. This change empowers our clinical community with robust, evidence-based tools and supports our commitment to holistic care.

Ways to access Elsevier beginning Sept. 9

Desktop icon: Look for the “Elsevier ClinicalKey - Skills” icon on your desktop for direct access. Desktop icons are being rolled out in phases and should be available on most desktops by Friday, Sept. 12.
Good Day Ascension intranet: The “Elsevier ClinicalKey - Skills” link can be found in the following locations:

Ministry Market page: Available on each market’s “Applications” page.
Clinical services community page: Under the “Links” section.

Artwork of the Month - September 2025: 18th Century Surgical Instrument Set from the Wellcome Collection

This image is released under a CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 License

In addition to the monthly Art-in-Medicine series, Lucinda Bennett, Ascension Medical Librarian at St. Agnes Hospital in Baltimore, MD, also features a monthly artwork that may be of interest to those who work in medicine.

“Wellcome had a passion for collecting medically related artefacts, aiming to create a Museum of Man.[14] He bought for his collection anything related to medicine, including Napoleon's toothbrush. By the time of his death, there were 125,000 medical objects in the collection, of over one million total. Most of the non-medical objects were dispersed after his death. He was also a keen archaeologist, in particular digging for many years at Jebel Moya, Sudan, hiring 4000 people to excavate.[15] He was one of the first investigators to use kite aerial photography on an archaeological site, with surviving images available in the Wellcome Library.
Wellcome's collection is now managed by the Science Museum, London, and has been in their care since 1976. Many objects from the collection are now on display in the museum's Medicine: The Wellcome Galleries. The Wellcome Collection exhibited a number of objects from Wellcome's collection in "Medicine Man", from 2007 to 2022. His collection of books, paintings, drawings, photographs and other media is available for viewing at the Wellcome Library. In 2003, the Brothers Quay directed a short animated film in tribute to the collection entitled The Phantom Museum.” (Wikipedia: Sir Henry Wellcome)
