21 students who successfully completed their 1st year of the 3 year training at the Durdans Hospital Nursing Training School concluded their capping ceremony on 28th March 2018.

Pupil nurses proudly wore their nurse’s cap for the first time and carried a lamp symbolising the famous Florence Nightingale lamp while reciting the Nightingale Oath. Prizes were awarded for outstanding academic achievements. The ceremony was a proud moment for students, parents, training school staff and senior management who were present at the ceremony.
