Student stories

Holly Tisdall, Master of Nurse Practitioner

I decided to undertake this course because I felt it was time to build on the knowledge and skills I have learned over the years as a registered nurse with current, evidence-based education. The most enjoyable area included learning advanced diagnostics and pharmacology, and completing my own research.
