The Elevate Emergency Nursing Program is the solution for veterinary nurses and veterinary techs who want to be confident in their management of emergency patients, enhance their current knowledge and take their emergency skills to the next level.
The Elevate Emergency Nursing Program has been designed and developed by a team of Animal Emergency Service Nurses, Technicians and Vets. The team have years of combined clinical emergency experience and know-how in fast paced AES hospitals across Australia and have helped mentor nurses and techs across the practices in becoming fully confident and valued emergency colleagues.
The Elevate program grew from the need to bridge the gap between general practice and emergency and critical care nursing. There are no admin or ‘fluff’ modules – the Elevate Emergency Nursing Program is built with relevant, practical and case-based care in mind, and in plain nurse speak.
The 8 modules will give you the tools to elevate your emergency patient care, the knowledge to enhance your work practices and the opportunity, with live and interactive tutorial sessions, to ask questions and study with mentors whose passion is emergency and critical care nursing.
I absolutely loved the information provided throughout the program. The content was in-depth, easy to follow, with module mentors very knowledgeable and supportive throughout the program.

The online program modules are released on a Monday.
There is a combined follow-up live tutorial and Q&A for each module that runs every third week (e.g. Modules 1 and 2 are released weekly, followed by a combined tutorial on the third week). Please see the Modules section for more information on each module’s content and learning objectives.
There are four live online tutorials offered in the Elevate Emergency Nursing Program. Each tutorial covers the content of the previous two modules. Tutorials are offered every third week on a Wednesday night 19.00 – 20.30. All dates will be advised at the start of your program.
Please note all tutorial times are AEST/QLD time. Queensland does NOT observe daylight savings.
At the end of each module content, there are a series of questions.
These questions will be of short answer format and case-based around the module material.
The 90 minutes tutorial on ZOOM is a live virtual classroom where case studies will be reviewed and any questions discussed. Additional materials may also be presented.
All the online ZOOM tutorials will be recorded and made available on the learning platform within 24 hours of completion. You can then view (and review!) at a time that suits you.
We recommend that you do try to attend the live sessions if possible. Your experienced program mentor will ensure this is a casual and friendly environment to raise questions and work through the case-studies.
ZOOM is a cloud-based meeting room. You can access ZOOM directly by a web browser https://zoom.us/ or you can download the ZOOM app.
You will be provided with a ZOOM meeting ‘link’ to click on (or cut and paste into your browser) to join your tutorial.
Please see ZOOM support for full technical requirements: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362023-System-Requirements-for-PC-Mac-and-LinuxEach of the 8 Modules has a series of non-assessed multiple choice questions (MCQs) to test your knowledge at the completion of the Module content.
On completion of the full program, an entirely online multiple choice question (MCQ) exam has been developed. This online MCQ examination will be run 2 weeks after all the module content has been delivered. The exam is optional and provides an opportunity for a knowledge check. It is not compulsory and delegates do not need to complete the exam to successfully complete the program.
