Every year the RMGNA awards a gift to the University of Melbourne Master of Advanced Nursing Practice student nominated for their high quality research project. We invite the awardee to present on their research at one of our general meetings or submit an article for our newsletter.

The Royal Melbourne Graduate Nurses’ Association introduced this annual award to acknowledge and celebrate RMH nurses who embody the Art of Nursing.  In 2025 we advertised two Art of Nursing Awards - a graduate nurse & Grade 2+ nurse, and the award increased to $1000 per winner. 

Unfortunately, we had no applications and no winners for 2025 so are investigating ways to increase our profile with the current nursing staff at RMH.   

To apply: complete the nomination form below & email to rmhgna@outlook.com or fill out the online nomination form below.
