The Diane McKenzie Bursary

Dr. Jean Hill, honoured by Diane McKenzie, B.N.Sc. 1964, MPA 1992, was the first Dean appointed for ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ School of Nursing. From 1941 to 1968, a five-year non-integrated nursing program existed, in which the university assumed responsibility for the basic academic courses, while the majority of the basic nursing education took place in hospitals outside of ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ academic jurisdiction. Dr Hill implemented our present four-year integrated model, providing nursing students the opportunity to apply skills of independent thinking and critical analysis to issues affecting nursing practice.
