NMBI Student Nurse Ambassadors

In November 2025, we held our second Student Nurse Ambassador Forum.

The forum allows undergraduate student nurses to understand NMBI's role in supporting them throughout their careers. 

20 student nurses from the four primary nursing divisions (General Nursing; General and Children’s Nursing; Mental Health Nursing and Intellectual Disability Nursing), will partner with us in promoting the profession of nursing, as well as participate in NMBI events throughout the year.
