Testimonials

“The Transition to Practice Program has created an amazing opportunity for newly graduated RN to gain valuable knowledge, skills, and a better understanding of the aged care sector. Anglicare has appreciated the opportunity to participate in this program to give the RN in our Homes a chance to grow, learn and transition from student to novice practitioner. The feedback from graduates who have completed the program has been very positive – igniting their enthusiasm to learn more. Thank you ACN for the ongoing support.”

“While Mel was completing the program, each month we could see an elevated level of confidence and I think more importantly a true passion for Aged Care. Having the opportunity to see Mel’s final presentation, we felt proud of what she had achieved, learnt and put into practice with our Home Care clients. The Transition to Practice program has started Mel on a further journey enrolling into Graduate Diploma Palliative Care.”

“I do not know how I could thank Diva enough for guiding and directing us through the previous term. If she weren’t there supporting me it would have been extremely difficult.
You are the best tutor I ever had!”

“Deciding to go to university & become an RN was a dream come true. Many thought I was crazy starting at 53. 2020 has been the best & worst year of my life thus far … I know the best is yet to come.”

“Ever the resilient and compassionate workers – we have faced such adversity this last 12 months. Thank you to everyone – the workers, our families and communities for supporting and lifting each other through a challenging year to remember.”

“2020 will be a year to remember. After many years of doing general practice nursing we adapted to delivering care via telehealth overnight. The practice had always delivered immunisations at an appointment in the surgery – we had to deliver Flu vaccines to over 1000 patients in the car park!”

– Jane Bollen MACN

“Having the privilege of leading thousands of dedicated nurses and midwives throughout the COVID-19 pandemic in Melbourne has been a humbling and extremely rewarding experience. We have all worked so hard during this period to keep our patients and each other safe. I am in awe of my colleagues and could not be prouder to be a nurse than I am in this, our year.”

– Paula Stephenson MACN

“Diva Madan was the facilitator in 3 of 4 subjects and was very supportive and approachable throughout the whole Graduate Certificate course.”

“Tutor (Diva Madan) very supportive, very clear and informative if any doubt, always responded and cleared the doubts, excellent. I would recommend my friend for a postgrad to join ACN.”
