About Us

The Nurses for Nurses Network was established by two Australian Nurses, initially to provide a dedicated online CPD education platform now known as Nursing CPD. We believe that the knowledge and skills of an individual Nurse significantly impact the success of a patient’s experience in the healthcare system.

Based on what other healthcare professions have been doing for decades, we decided to provide Nurses with the same opportunity and hold Nursing Conferences in some great and exciting locations in Australia and overseas, with the same exacting education standards currently available in the online CPD platform.

Other topics presented comprise of Nursing Leadership, Emergency Management, Mental health, Aged Care, Advanced Life Support, Assertiveness, Grief and Loss, and Workplace Bullying.

Sue is passionate about making a difference in how the community and Nurses experience the healthcare system.

“Nurses are the backbone of the healthcare system and work in difficult environments that can take advantage of their commitment to ensuring the best possible care is delivered. To continue to meet professional and community expectations Nurses and Midwives need to acknowledge their unique contribution to health care delivery and assert their collective strength to safeguard the community and ensure their ongoing professional needs are recognised and met.

Healthcare should be delivered by competent, knowledgeable individuals to ensure the best possible experience for the recipient of that care. Nursing is a fabulous profession.  The knowledge and skill of the individual Nurse will have the greatest influence on the happiness and health outcomes of each and every client”.

During those years she became increasingly drawn back to psychiatry, working with people who were experiencing life very differently and who were at risk of ever-increasing marginalisation.

For many years she had the privilege and challenge of working especially with people diagnosed with personality disorders and trauma-induced conditions. She maintains a lasting appreciation and respect for their journey and their resilience.

Colleen has worked in Public and Private Hospitals, Community settings, and Nursing Education.

Colleen completed her Psychiatric training first, then her General and Obstetric training in the last cohort of hospital-trained nurses in Auckland. She has a BA Humanities and a Grad Certificate in Adult Education.
