The Pre-Admission Nurses Association was established in August 2001, as a result of the increase in available Pre Admission services across Victoria.
The special interest group currently has 103 members, however this number is always growing. Workshops are held every 3-4 months, which provides excellent networking opportunities, dynamic speakers to promote continuing education and a certificate of attendance.
