Just finished the Certificate in Geriatric Nursing from Stanmore School of Business, and I must say it was a great experience. The course covered a lot of ground, from ageing theories to palliative care, and I picked up so many useful tips and tricks along the way. The practical skills I learned, such as pressure ulcer prevention and pain management, will be invaluable in my day-to-day work. The course materials were clear and concise, and the assessments were a good way to check my understanding. I'm definitely considering doing more courses with Stanmore in the future.
