Notes

Overseas members do not receive the RCN Bulletin

Nurse cadets are unlikely to be receiving their education from an educational institution recognised by the NUS, and therefore unlike student members, representation on matters relating to their course of study will be provided by the RCN.

Cadet members vote for their ANS representatives on RCN council, but are not eligible to vote in other council elections. They can nominate and vote in branch elections, but not stand for election.
