to achieve a sustainable heath care system. Provide advocacy, support and leadership to new and future nurses in order to ensure that student and novice nurses have the skills, direction and voice necessary to achieve a sustainable heath care system. My name is Kadee and I am now the official (as of yesterday!!!) Vice President of ASANNA, the Australian Student and Novice Nurse Association
