We've too have been quoted a ridiculous price hike (we get the RCN
bundle quoted +287% on 2013!), it's currently under consideration but we
may well cancel.
N.B. Not only is there no longer a print only option, the P+E sub will
attract a VAT at 5.43% (not sure where they got this figure from?) plus
they have removed e-access to the archive - now available as a separate
purchase only and only 3 yrs rolling access with current subs.
To add insult to injury, since migrating platform we are currently
unable to link (via SFX) to /Nurse researcher /and /Nursing management.

In our case, that would push up the price of a subscription to NURSING STANDARD from approx. £277 (print only) to £1,875(+VAT) for print+online site licence. We surely can't be the only ones who feel this is totally unacceptable and are cancelling.
