Testimonials
Brooke Wagner, MN, NP
Primary Care Nurse Practitioner @ Niagara north family health team
“Nursing Lane creates the best educational opportunities I’ve come across in my NP career thus far. Hearing from the industry’s top specialists about tips and tricks on how we can manage many illnesses and conditions that we often refer for in primary care is motivating, empowering and can significantly reduce the volume of referrals sent and wait times for patients.”
Alexandra milne, MN, NP
Clinical director & Primary Care Nurse Practitioner @ Care& Family Health
“These are the most important education sessions you can attend as a nurse practitioner in primary health care. You leave with tangible tools to better serve your patients and minimize unnecessary referrals and long specialist wait times. Sessions are organized with sufficient time for questions and some specialist even provide post-session written materials”
SANA VIRANI, MD
FAMILY PHYSICIAN @ VICTORIA MEDICAL GROUP
“As a family physician currently in practice, I sometimes find it difficult to stay abreast of the latest advances in clinical practice or new/current guidelines in the diagnosis and management of the multitude of medical illnesses that we come across day to day. I am so glad I came across this event. Monthly lectures from specialists across different specialties provides not only that but also a quick refresher on things we see in practice everyday. Since graduating from residency, I find it difficult to have time to review or learn new things that would help me to help my patients. This event allows me to learn directly from the specialists, something I have not had access to since residency. I'm glad there's more lecture series coming up.”
CLAIRE SMITH, MN, NP
Primary Care Nurse Practitioner @ TORONTO WESTERN family health team
“Could not be happier with my decision to attend this event. For ~$20 per session, you get evidence-based and relevant clinical tools from medical specialists. The majority of the sessions are held after a standard work day and recorded for later viewing as well, which is super convenient. After attending each session, I take away valuable knowledge that will enhance the care that I provide my patients.”
Brianna smith, MN, NP
Primary Care Nurse Practitioner @ Care& Family Health
“I’m so happy this exists! I would highly recommend these events to any primary care provider who is looking to gain knowledge from some of the best specialists and improve their everyday practice. I’ve already been able to implement some of the knowledge I gained from the first session into my practice and prevent an unnecessary referral! 5/5 stars”
