HSE pays tribute to psychiatric nursing graduates
The 38 graduates attended a ceremony in Waterford to mark the event
The HSE has celebrated the addition of 38 new psychiatric nursing graduates from the South East Technological University.
The graduates who undertook placement in Carlow, Kilkenny, South Tipperary, Waterford and Wexford attended a ceremony where they received their qualifications at an event held in the Tower Hotel in Waterford.
The 38 graduates will now register with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland as Psychiatric Nurses.
Dr. Sara Kennedy, Head of Department in the School of Nursing, SETU said:
“This diverse training afforded in the South East to graduates in Psychiatric Nursing is a solid foundation to developing professionally and making a lasting contribution to the delivery of quality, safe and effective mental health care locally, nationally and internationally.”
