School of Nursing and Midwifery Perpetual Award Winners 2019

It was great to see our undergraduate, postgraduate, MSc and doctoral students graduating in such large numbers - well done to students and faculty. Four doctoral students graduated on 20th June from the School of Nursing and Midwifery: Gerardina Harnett-Collins, Joan Murphy, Elizabeth Ann O’Connell, Aoife Lane (Ni Ruiseal). Professor Geraldine McCarthy presented the conferring address. She highlighted three key messages to the graduates which were: 1) graduating from medicine and health offers significant opportunities for personal and professional growth and happiness 2) the importance of continuing to make a difference through continuous learning and 3) the need for the graduates to look after themselves.
