Scholarships Newsletter
You have lifted up our nurses – thank you!
Last Christmas we asked for your support to create a Nurses’ Scholarship Fund.
Thanks to an outpouring of support, this fund has now been created. The Fund means St Vincent’s hard working and dedicated nurses can continue their training and education without having to worry about working extra shifts or finding the money to pay for their education.
You have shown nurses how much you care. THANK YOU!
By lifting them up, you have given them a special gift, the gift of knowledge and education. This new knowledge will enable nurses to provide the very best care to patients at St Vincent’s hospitals.
You have played an important role by helping us invest in nurses so they can continue to provide vital care for the community for years to come.
“My wife and I have always recognised the value of education. Nurses are the heart of healthcare. They are always there for us when we need them. We feel it's our responsibility to be there for them to equip them with the skills, knowledge and confidence to provide the best care possible to their patients." - Robert and Mary, Scholarship Fund donors.
