Consider your contribution.
Experience can offer perspective, but it does not remove the need to listen to the person in front of you. Reflect on your motivation and readiness to learn.
Understand the expectations.
Consistency, boundaries and sound judgement matter alongside warmth. Ask about training, support and the assessment process.
Explore the appropriate route.
ECNM currently recruits associates through assessment and safer recruitment checks. Training is an opportunity to develop your practice; completing a course does not guarantee an ECNM role.
