The National Nursing Practice Network is an extensive network of hospitals and health care providors from all over the United States. The NNPN website is an interactive tool that is designed to evolve easily with the growing needs of the professionals it was built to serve. With resources including discussion groups, educational articles, and photo galleries, the NNPN website is divided into Members Only and Public areas. Zandergraphics also created and formatted a Site Manual to assist with training University employees in the maintenance, updating, and posting new materials to the NNPN website.

The NNPN website was the first extensive content management project that I really dove into. I was familiar with Bulletin Board Systems and many of the other components that I used in this project, but had never really put all of them together in one place before. In part, it was the experience of creating an environment where all of these different elements worked together and interacted that inspired me to design and build the site you are seeing now. Our experience with the University has been a very positive one and after getting in as a vendor to the University we have been contacted by several other departments and hope to be starting more projects for them in the near future. We feel that our passion for education and striving to build new skills makes us a perfect match for a client like the University of Iowa.
