Join us for a special episode of the FNP Education Podcast as we follow the journeys of four family nurses who recently completed the SQA Professional Diploma in Family Nursing. In this candid conversation, our guests share the real highs and lows of balancing study with family life and clinical practice—celebrating achievements, navigating challenges, and reflecting on what truly made a difference.
From the initial nerves of returning to academic study to the pride of graduation, you’ll hear how detailed feedback, peer support, and a flexible, hybrid learning approach helped these nurses flourish. Discover how preparing for assessments not only boosted their confidence but also enriched their clinical practice and learn what advice they’d give to anyone considering this rewarding path.
Whether you’re thinking about the diploma yourself, are currently in the throes of studying or supporting colleagues on their journey, this episode offers honest insights, practical tips, and plenty of inspiration for every stage of family nurse practice.
