Columbus State University School of Nursing enjoyed a visit to SETU Waterford Department of Nursing and Health Care recently. Dona-Lee Ferguson, a faculty member, was accompanied by five 3rd and 4th year Bachelor of Science in Nursing Students and they were welcomed to WIT by Dr Suzanne Denieffe.
The purpose of their visit was to get an understanding of Irish health care and education and meet the SETU Waterford nursing students.
Among their itinerary they met with Ms Lenora Fitzgerald, public health nurse and research student in SETU Waterford who outlined her role in the community and her research project. They visited St Otteran's Hospital where Ms Marilyn Vereker, A/CPC gave them a very informative talk on the history of mental health services in Ireland and spent some time in Killure Bridge Nursing home with the Director of Care, Ms Mary Burke.
They also had the opportunity to visit Whitfield Clinic / and UPMC Whitfield Cancer Centre where they were given a presentation by Mr Paul Lynam CEO, Ms Jo Brehany CPC and Ms Cationa McDonald Director of Operations.
Overall the visit was very successful and builds on the strong relationships SETU Waterford has with Columbus State University Georgia.
