We are thrilled to announce that the Australian College of Nurse Practitioners (ACNP) is joining the Nurses Collective platform, connecting our esteemed community of Nurse Practitioners with nurses across Australia.

As an organisation dedicated to advancing nurse practitioner practice and education, we believe that joining Nurses Collective will provide us with a unique opportunity to connect, collaborate, and grow as professionals in the healthcare industry.

By transitioning our membership to the Nurses Collective platform, we aim to create a dynamic and inclusive space where nurse practitioners can network, share knowledge, and engage with a wider nursing community. We are excited to share that the ACNP will have its own private forum, group, resources, and guides within the platform.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

 

1. What is the main news feed?

The main news feed within the group functions similarly to popular social platforms like Facebook or LinkedIn. You can post questions, search for topics of interest, respond to posts, and engage in conversations with other members. It serves as a central hub for sharing information and updates.

 

2. Can I send private messages or friend requests?

Absolutely! Just like LinkedIn, Facebook, and other social platforms, you have the ability to connect directly with other members through private messaging and friend requests. This feature facilitates networking and enables one-on-one communication within the community.

 

3. What is the code of conduct as an ACNP member?

While the NP Online Forum provides a space for individuals to express their views and opinions freely, ACNP emphasises maintaining a professional environment. As the forum is regulated, we kindly request that all members use it responsibly and respectfully. Any comments, posts, or imagery that are deemed inappropriate will be promptly removed by our moderators. In cases of severe misconduct, regulators have the right to remove members from the forum and potentially from the Nurses Collective platform altogether.

We are here to assist you and ensure your experience on the NP Online Forum is enjoyable and beneficial.

 

The NP Online Forum has been developed in collaboration with Jackson Heilberg, an innovative entrepreneur and passionate Australian Nurse. We are grateful for our partnership with the Nurses Collective and are excited for you to explore and utilise the platform to its fullest potential.
