About

For Sale Information

This Learning Nurses Resources Network (LearningNurse.org) website and all of its educational materials are for sale! This includes the domain names, website, educational nursing games, nursing quizzes, personality diagnostic tests, competency self-assessment tools and ecourses. 

The reasons for selling LearningNurse.org are because we are in the process of downsizing our many commitments in preparation for retirement. Also, we have some new interests and projects that require our time and attention. After 15 years, it is time for someone else with fresh ideas and lots of energy / passion to take over the site.

We have NOT determined a selling price! This will depend on who wants to take it over, and what they plan to do with the site. All reasonable, serious offers from credible organizations or individuals will be considered. Our preference is that the site remain available to the hundreds of thousands of nurses and students around the world that use it every year. 

We have prepared an information package consisting of a detailed description of the assets; the software and technology used; and comprehensive statistics on the traffic to the site and utilizations; and other relevant information. 

To receive this information package, please contact us with:

  • Your full name and position (if applicable)
  • Your company or organization, and some brief information about it
  • Why you want LearningNurse and what you plan to do with it

Confidentiality and Privacy

Steppingstones understands and respects your rights to confidentiality and privacy. We, therefore, promise to NEVER disclose or share your individual data collected on this website with your employer, nursing association or any other third party.

We keep secrets!Here is how the data collected on this website will be used.

Payments

All online payments are handled by our payment processor Stripe Canada. We do NOT see, record, track or keep your credit card data! All payment data is encrypted when it is sent to Stripe. 

e-Learning Center

Although some of our e-Learning and tutorials have a quiz included within them, NO data is collected or recorded from your responses to these tests. These incorporated quizzes are strictly an interactive feature for your own feedback.

Test and Quiz Center

The data to each test and quiz is anonymously captured and stored in a database. We are NOT interested in any individual's test scores but in the aggregate results. This data will be used to:

  • Validate the effectiveness of each test – if people are failing the quiz, perhaps the items are not clear and the test needs to be revised.
  • Identify learning needs – if there are topics in which tests scores are poor, this data may be used for developing online courses, brokering seminars and workshops, or letting post-secondary programs know that additional training may be required.

The Learning Nurse is an independent, safe and secure place for your professional development / continuing education program. No one will have access to your professional development records or test results. You decide whether you want to share this data with your employer, nursing association and anyone else!

If you have any questions or concerns about our security and privacy procedures and policies, please contact us.
