St. Angela’s Celebrates International Nursing Day 2022

Setting the standard for modern nursing as we know it, Florence Nightingale herself believed in the importance of building trusting relationships with patients and this is the vision that continues in nursing education to this day.

If we have learned anything from the past two years, it’s the resilience and dedication our nurses, and indeed all healthcare professionals, possess when it comes to improving the quality of life for others. Our front-line workers were thrust into unprecedented scenarios and showed us that stepping up was just one part, going above and beyond was what really shined through and that was also the case for our Student Nurses who not only continued with their studies, but with their practice placements too.

St. Angela’s College provide a range of programmes through its Academic School of Nursing, Health Sciences and Disability Studies and invite prospective students to explore undergraduate and postgraduate opportunities this September. “Quality university education delivered by our experienced professionals means we can nurture and empower future nurses as well as continuing to academically support those who wish to progress to postgraduate level” explains Dr Evelyn McManus, Acting Head of School. “And we take great pride in knowing our students and graduates have played a significant role throughout the COVID-19 pandemic”

On 12th May, St. Angela’s will join colleagues nationwide and around the world in recognising these efforts and advocating for a fair future for everyone in the profession through this year’s International Nurses Day theme: ‘Nurses: A Voice to Lead - Invest in nursing and respect rights to secure global health’.

At undergraduate level, CAO applicants are invited to consider General Nursing (AS110) and Intellectual Disability Nursing (AS130), while at postgraduate level, applications can be made directly to St. Angela’s for those who wish to advance their career in nursing studies; international healthcare management; community mental health; disability studies; and applied health and wellness coaching.

Subject to incorporation, St. Angela’s will become one of nine campuses across the new Atlantic Technological University, which was formed in April 2022. This means that all St. Angela’s students starting this September will be awarded a qualification from Atlantic TU.
