Today Nurse & Midwife Support celebrates 4 years of providing service and support to nurses, midwives and students throughout Australia.
We reckon that’s something to celebrate.
My colleagues and I feel privileged to be part of the incredible Australian nursing and midwifery community and to have heard your stories. We have laughed, cried and chatted together as we navigated the complexities and impact of the last 4 years.
