Newly Registered Nurse network
Created by NRNs for NRNs, we aim to add the unique perspective of the newly registered to the voice of nursing while providing peer-to-peer support and guidance at the beginning of the nursing journey.

The Network brings together NRNs and students approaching graduation. See below and discover more about who we are, what we do and how we can help with resources and guidance from those who’ve gone before. As well as how you can get involved too.
