“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.”

“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.”
