Supporting the learning, growth and career development of nurses
28 April 2025The Florence app – by APNA, for nurses – is a brand new, free app designed to support the learning, growth and career development of nurses, making growing your nursing career easier, clearer and more rewarding.
Developed by the Australian Primary Health Care Nurses Association (APNA), Florence is built for all nurses working across general practice, aged care, community and mental healthcare, in education and more. Whether you’re new to nursing or a seasoned leader, Florence puts you in control of your professional development.
Why does it matter?
Nurses are taking on more than ever, in prevention, chronic disease management, mental health, digital health and other growing spaces. Without tools that support structured growth and recognition, progress can feel hard to navigate.
Florence simplifies the process, making career development accessible and inspiring.
As part of our commitment to strengthening the health workforce across our North Brisbane and Moreton Bay region, we’re proud to offer early access to this important new resource.
What can Florence offer?
Florence is a practical, easy-to-use app that helps nurses:
✅ get personalised CPD suggestions based on role and goals
✅ capture learning activities in seconds – AHPRA compliant
✅ set goals and track learning progress across your career journey.
Florence is powered by APNA’s Career and Education Frameworks and designed to reflect the real learning and leadership nurses demonstrate every day.
