I am starting the MN-NP program at the School of Nursing in the fall. I am interested in taking any course that will assist me in either public speaking, accelerating academically and/or acquiring personal coaching services. Could you direct me to someone who could help me?
Thank you,
Kelly Hick
Hi Kelly,
We’re thrilled that you’re taking a proactive approach to learning! While there’s no courses offered on this sort of thing, there’s certainly lots of resources for you. Your best bet would be to check out the Toolkits on our website. Under the tab Student Toolkits, we have learning modules, videos, and tips on topics like Time Management, Presentation Skills (Public Speaking), Textbook Reading, and Exam Prep which will help you holistically improve your approach to school. We also offer Tutoring and Peer Academic Coaching. Once school starts, setting up a regular appointment with a Peer Academic Coach might be the best way to stay on top of your work and talk with someone who is trained to help you succeed!
Best of luck,
Gillian
