“The feedback I received from my tutors and those who assessed my work was helpful. Affirmation and comment in equal parts was an important blend in keeping me motivated through the course and special mention must be given to both Fran Stoddart and Danielle in the library without whom I wouldn’t have finished the year. Thank you all for developing these resources to equip and motivate those who may not have easy access to advanced paediatric knowledge acquisition.”
“The forums helped me gain insights on other nurses’ experiences and expertise. It also helped me engage with the other students and developed my network.”
“Engaging with the tutors in topics that are highly relevant in my workplace practice, finding fascinating studies on a variety of subjects when floating through research – one of my highlights.”
“The content of the course was relevant to my current practice and made me reassess my knowledge and has improved my practice.”
“The course was a well-balanced course, covering conditions, pathophysiology with both practical and theoretical information and guidelines. It allowed me to communicate with other nurses in differing areas and learn their often experienced knowledge and evidence based practice. The support from my tutor Fran Stoddart was excellent. I am planning to enrol in a new course next year with ACN.”
“Career coaching has changed my nursing trajectory and I can recommend it to anyone who is pro-active, an adult learner and who likes to be challenged. Career coaches can make change happen.”
“I have been matched with the most amazing mentor, we have a great connection and I can always ask her questions and get a rational level headed answer.”
“I was so grateful to have someone to write to when I was feeling lost in my studies, someone who could refocus my mind and get me back on track. It was a really uplifting experience and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for more guidance on how to make the best out of their career in nursing.”
“I have found that I have made improvements with the way I approach clinical placements, resume writing and research. My Career Coach is not only a role model or mentor but a friend. I chose to participate in the Career Coaching with ACN as I am a newly enrolled nursing student that wants to make the most of my new career. I have found having a mentor a great experience and a huge help with my personal goals.”
“Excellent course. I have learnt so much and feel confident in triage and emergency presentations. I recommend this to anyone who wants to improve their clinical skills. Like anything, you have to be prepared to put the effort in to get the best results for yourself. Thank you ACN.
Even though I found everything daunting at first, then sat down and went through everything I found it got easier as I went. It certainly broadened my knowledge because I was made to think. It put me out of my comfort zone but appreciated that it gave me more confidence in myself.”
