My training at the RMH and Associated Hospitals was (in hindsight!) excellent. I have much for which to be grateful for. It has shaped my life which has been very fulfilling in many ways

Q & A
Question:
Can I just check , because the messaging says ALL nurses , but even new posting has Graduates in the name. Is this association open to ALL nurses at RMH even if they came from outside and weren't grads here?
Answer:
Yes, RMGNA is for ALL past & present RMH nurses, no matter where they trained. We did start life as an association for nurses trained at the RMH, hence the name, but that training finished in the early 1990s. We are currently seeking legal assistance with changing our name to the Royal Melbourne Nurses Association to better reflect who we are now but that is going to be an expensive & long process! Please consider becoming a member; we need new ideas, enthusiasm & forward looking thinking to survive & thrive.
