de Souza Testimonials
 

Mikki Layton, Advanced Practice Clinician, Toronto East General Hospital

"The de Souza nursing institute is an Oncology nurse’s dream come true! The de Souza Nurse program has not only enhanced my knowledge and skill, but improved my confidence and resume.  The innovative learning opportunities enabled me to learn with colleagues from diverse backgrounds province wide, participate in sharing best practice, and create networks for future learning while being led by educators who are experts in their field.  I have experienced learning never before available to me." 

Kim, RN, Ottawa

"I started one [de Souza] course which lead to another and then which lead to achieving my CNA Oncology certification last year, now Hospice Palliative Care, as well as going for my university degree.  de Souza has been inspirational to my believing "I could" and is travelling the journey with me."

Susanne Luteganya, RN

"The learning materials were sufficient and the time for the prep was just enough. During study I learned a lot of things about cancers and the treatments that I did not know before, hence expanding my knowledge base. When I went to write the CNA oncology certification exam I could not believe my eyes, because I felt that I was well prepared thanks to you. Keep doing the fantastic job that you are doing. Many oncology nurses write the exam because they know they will get all the support and help they need from de Souza in order to become oncology nurses and make difference in people affected with the disease."

Carolyn McFadden, RN, Bluewater Health, Sarnia

“I call myself a ‘de Souza fanatic’ because I have taken just about every course or program they offer. It’s amazing to feel confident that I’m providing the safest and best possible cancer care for my patients.”
