Welcome to the new Practice Assessment site for Nurses attending the nursing courses delivered by the Atlantic Technological University. The site can be accessed on any computer, tablet device or mobile/smart phone linked to the internet and the user interface will automatically resize to the screen size of the device that is being used. All actions taken or content added will instantly be captured irrespective of the device being used. There is no requirement to download any software to make the site fully operational.

Preceptors and Registered Nurses can create an account from this page by selecting Preceptor/Registered Nurse Registration. Once they are registered, they can be invited by students to have access to their portfolio. Preceptors and Registered Nurses can then review progress and have access to the skills and competencies relevant to that placement to aid and enhance practice-based learning, without the need to negotiate paper-based records.
