About Course
The Journey
Do you have what it takes to be an excellent caregiver? You need to have a passion for helping others and enjoy seeing another person heal, feel comfort and enjoy life again. Most importantly, you should not expect to be rewarded immediately for your good work. Instead, simply be happy to help your client and take joy in the fact that you are making his/her life easier. Rewards are always given by the Universe but only at the right time. Rewards are not simply financial gains but also include the satisfaction of making the world a better place by performing your duties with a willing and happy heart.
You must have empathy, patience, diligence, endurance, discipline, and respect. These are the attributes that are synonymous with the word “caregiver” or “nurse.”
In this course, you will learn crucial skills of caregiving, adapt your attitude to that of a willing servant and learn that life is a circle. Nothing you do will go unseen even if you think otherwise. Remember that the journey you take as a nurse is as challenging as it is rewarding.
I have compiled this course with many essential factors in mind.
I hope you will enjoy the process and love applying the insights that this course will offer you.
Bon Voyage and happy learning.

Student Ratings & Reviews
Thank you for this opportunity given to me to rate the course. The course is very useful and eye opening. l have learnt many things which I was unaware about them. It provides me with valuable knowledge on assisting with mobility, ensuring proper nutrition and supporting the patients. This course has inspired me to give better care to aging parents and loved ones with confidence and expertise. I am also thrilled to have studied this course as I will be providing care for daily needs of someone that is unable to care for
themselves. The care may include addressing the physical and emotional needs etc. What inspired me to study this course I was caring for my mother without any experience as I had love for her and I had to take care of her without any experience. But now in first class care giving I have learnt all the skills and values like empathy and compassion, as it helps me as a caregiver to understand the feelings and needs of my clients and it fitted exactly to what I have been longing and inquisitive to achieve by studying the course.
Thank you, Karen, for every effort and support in ensuring that I achieve all my desires, goals and objectives about the course.
