The Nursing Award recipients from The VGH School of Nursing Alumnae Building Society/Association Bursary.
Nurses are the heart of our health care system – and often the unsung heroes – providing care, comfort and compassion to thousands of patients in need of hope and healing.
On May 6th, VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation recognized some of our dedicated nurses in a special ceremony held at VGH, during National Nursing Week. In all, 88 nurses from VGH, UBC Hospital, and Vancouver Community were honored at the 2013 Nursing Awards; each receiving a bursary award for their exceptional leadership and nursing practices. The Awards allow our nurses to further their education and stay at the forefront of their specialized fields.
VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation would like to thank our donors – who make these awards possible – for giving the gift of health care education to these well-deserving nurses!
