Danuka Samarakoon

Danuka's journey began on the outskirts of Colombo, Sri Lanka, in a family deeply rooted in healthcare. With a physiotherapist father and a cardiographer mother, hospitals were a familiar backdrop. Initially, he chose a different path in Business and Finance. After moving to Australia post-school, he worked in retail sales but soon realized his heart wasn't in it.

The onset of COVID-19 was a turning point. Witnessing the urgent need for healthcare professionals, Danuka made a bold decision to enroll in a Diploma of Nursing. The coursework was challenging, but stepping onto a ward for the first time, he knew he had found his calling. In Australia, he gained access to cutting-edge knowledge and technology, instrumental in his training.
Despite the difficulties of studying during Melbourne's lockdowns, Danuka appreciated the online support he received. He emphasizes the importance of hands-on experience, advising aspiring nurses to be proactive during placements. "Show your worth, listen, and learn," he urges.

Now an Enrolled Nurse at Orbost Regional Health, 375 kilometers east of Melbourne, Danuka is recognized as a valuable asset. "Caring for people makes you feel very happy. They are so thankful," he shares. "In a small community, you get to know the patients and staff, which is wonderful."

Excited for his next challenge, Danuka is set to begin his Bachelor of Nursing this July, aiming to become a Registered Nurse. Having gained Permanent Residency through a skilled migration program, he plans to stay in Australia indefinitely, committed to advancing his skills and continuing his impactful work.

Danuka's story is a testament to following one's passion, adapting to new challenges, and the profound fulfillment that comes from caring for others.

Acknowledge Education has been my best choice ever so far. Studying a course that I have always wished for in such genuine college is nothing less than dream come true.

Every thing here is amazing. The college environment, resources, well- qualified and experienced trainers, nursing lab are the factors that makes the college best. Thus, I’m grateful and humbled to be one of the student here.

Talking about my course, I chose Nursing because being a nurse plays an integral role in promoting health, preventing illness, and caring for all individuals, including those who are disabled or are physically or mentally ill. I'm interested in nursing subjects to serve the needy and sick people around the world. It is a highly respected job in the world.Nurses help people and their families cope with illness, deal with it, and if necessary live with it, so that other parts of their lives can continue.

I love my mother very much as she is the best creator , motivation and supporter. But my mother often falls sick. I always wanted to support her for healthy living. So, I chose the best way out to serve her as a nurse. Today , I realized the job of nursing is not limited only in family but the entire world is in need of it. Florence Nightingale is the founder of modern nursing. She serves the wounded and sick soldiers in the war prone area.
Today, nusing has become very important subject for every family in the entire world for healthy living.

I'm proud to serve the sick people for a better healthy life. Today people get birth from their mothers but die in the hands of nurse in glory. "If it weren't for the support of my classmates and my teachers I wouldn't be where I am today," she says. "Believe me when I say there is not a better feeling in this world than truly earning and accomplishing a challenge."

Thank you.

I am thrilled to offer my heartfelt testimonial as a student currently studying the Diploma of Nursing. The program has been a transformative journey, as it not only honed my crucial clinical skills but also instilled in me the profound essence of compassion and empathy, embodying the true spirit of nursing.

The teachers’ dedication to teaching extends beyond the textbooks, as they consistently emphasize the human side of nursing. The emphasis on understanding patients' emotions, fears, and struggles has been transformative.

Moreover, the school environment played a significant role in my development. The open conversation and supportive atmosphere allowed me to thrive and grow both personally and professionally. It fostered a sense of belonging and provided a platform for continuous improvement. This inclusive atmosphere has encouraged me to voice my thoughts confidently, further enhancing my learning experience.

I am proud to share that my dedication and growth during this course have led to receiving job offers on my placements and achieving recognition from work. The hands-on experience and the nurturing learning environment at the school have been instrumental in my professional development.

In conclusion, the Diploma of Nursing program has equipped me with the skills, knowledge, and compassion needed to excel in the nursing profession. I am excited to embark on this rewarding career, knowing that my education has prepared me to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those in need.
