On March 10, the Faculty of Nursing held its fifth annual Nursing Research Day. The event is an opportunity for nursing graduate students to present research they have been working on as part of their thesis work.  

“Nursing Research Day is vital for our Faculty,” says Dr. Nancy Moules, professor and associate dean, research at ��ݮ����Ƶ���� Nursing.

“We have tremendous students who are doing outstanding research and they should be heard and applauded. The presentations of the student research were of professional caliber - presentations and posters you would see and hear at a professional conference. 

“Marc Hall, research specialist, does a remarkable job of organizing, presenting, and vitalizing this event and I look forward to it every year!” she adds. 

Nearly 40 were in attendance for the 10 presentations including poster, 3MT and oral presentations. Many thanks to our judges Drs. Sandra Davidson, Nancy Moules, Andrew Estefan and Lorelli Nowell. 

Thank you to all our nursing graduate students who presented and congrats to winners Sandip Dhaliwal (Poster Presentations, first place), Jacqueline Wilson (3MT, first place) and Katherine Wong (Oral Presentations, first place). 

“All the presentations were phenomenal - I was so impressed,” says Hall. “Our graduate students are doing such amazing research and I’m happy that we were able to come together to hear about their projects and celebrate their incredible work.”
