RCNA CNE points
Royal College of Nursing, Australia (RCNA) is Australia’s peak professional nursing organisation and is the Australian member of the International Council of Nurses (ICN). RCNA is a national membership organisation open to nurses and nursing students in all areas of the profession.
RCNA contributes to the enhancement of the nursing profession in many ways, including supporting their members in their continuing professional development and ongoing education via RCNA conferences, workshops, events and through the RCNA Life Long Learning Program (3LP).
