Smart Edition

Melissa Wynne, [CPNP-PC], is a nurse practitioner and the founder of Smart Edition, a nursing education publisher focused on clear, practical study and reference guides. She earned her nurse practitioner degree from Northeastern University in Boston.

Melissa started Smart Edition in 2018 after her own experience preparing for the nursing school entrance exam, when she found that most prep materials explained what things were without showing students how to actually use them. That idea still drives every Smart Edition book: less memorization, more "what do I do now?"

Today, Melissa and the Smart Edition editorial team create guides for every stage of a nursing career, from TEAS and HESI A2 entrance exam prep to pharmacology, The Essential Family Nurse Practitioner Guide, and The Essential ICU Nursing Guide. Their books are known for full-color visuals, side-by-side comparisons of commonly confused conditions, and quick-reference layouts built for real study sessions and real shifts.

Thousands of nursing students and nurses use Smart Edition books and online courses to prepare for exams, start new roles, and practice with more confidence.
