    Final Episode of the ACN Podcast

    Welcome back for what is the final episode of the ACN. Over the last two years I have had the immense honour of hosting the ACN podcast. For 35 episodes across two seasons I have spoken with some outstanding nurses and midwives from a wide-variety of clinical backgrounds and specialties, from both within and outside of the Australian College of Nursing community. Thank you to everyone who has listened to and have supported the podcast over the last two years. Thank you to Kylie Ward and the entire communications team for your support. Whilst I may be stepping away from this role in order to enhance my own skills and career, I will be remaining quite active within the ACN community. Thank you again for all that have listened and I look forward to meeting and speaking with many of you in the future.
