Distinguished guests in attendance were Mayor Jenny Hill, Executive Director of Nursing Mater Hospital Townsville , Karen Gerrard, Executive Director of Nursing and Midwifery, Townsville Hospital and Health Services, Judy Morton and Midwifery Director, Amanda Ostrenski.
The students participated in a procession of the lamp during which each was partnered with a retired Nurse to witness the passing of the Lamp from the President of the Association to Rachel Stables, a 2016 JCU Graduate. This is a symbolic passing of the culture, art and science of nursing and midwifery from one generation to the next.
The service was followed by a sumptuous morning tea and many stories shared between the retired nurses and the students.
