"Having Aboriginal nurses and midwives to deliver culturally safe and respectable care to Mob. It's about having that connection to our history and understanding that for some, being in hospital can be a traumatising experience.""The cadetship program went beyond my expectations. The support I recieved while I was a cadet helped guide me through my nursing degree. It gave me the chance to explore different areas of nursing. I'm thankful to have been part of such a great program and encourage all Aboriginal students to apply." Martin Roberts, proud Wiradjuri man and NSW Health cadetship recipient.
