Tuesday, 10 December 2024
The Department of Nursing Science recognised the achievements and dedication of students during a recent awards ceremony.
Students received their distinguishing devices during the ceremony, which was held at the Auditorium on the Bellville campus, while those who have excelled were also acknowledged.
The keynote speaker was Lloyd Christopher, Acting Assistant Dean in the Faculty of Health and Wellness Sciences.
Head of Department, Prof Karien Jooste, who initiated the awards, said learner nurses deliver person-centered care, keeping in mind developing as “Nurses for the Future”.
The ceremony was an effort to acknowledge the theory and clinical achievements of students and to motivate and encourage all of the students and will become an annual event.
This event also marked a milestone of having the first fourth-year learner nurses (new Bachelor of Nursing), and the fourth-years of the BTech Nursing Degree together to celebrate. The department offered the legacy programme (BTech) and introduced the new bachelor’s degree simultaneously, a first in South Africa.
