Racheal Marshall
Racheal is one of six candidates standing in the 2016 VN Council elections.

VN election candidate hopes to play a part in gaining recognition for the profession
 
"There are currently too many nurses leaving our profession due to the perceived lack of career progression opportunities," said Rachael Marshall, a candidate in the upcoming VN Council elections.

But in fact, she believes there are numerous different routes for nurses to break into. If elected, Rachael hopes to join efforts to empower nurses, helping them to feel valued and reach their full potential by progressing their careers.
