Six academics from the School of Nursing and Midwifery at the University of Notre Dame’s Fremantle Campus were recently recognised for their outstanding commitment to the nursing profession in WA.
Professor Selma Alliex, Professor Leanne Monterosso, Judith Wilson, Karen Clark-Burg, Peter Carr and Darren Falconer were formally inducted into the inaugural Western Australian at Large Honour Society of Nursing (WAHSN) at a special function held in May.
The WAHSN has been formed as a partnership between nursing programs from Notre Dame, UWA, ECU and Curtin University, with support from the Nursing and Midwifery Office and the WA Department of Health.
The Society represents the commitment to excellence by nurses and midwives. Membership is available to nurse leaders who show exceptional achievements in nursing, and to undergraduate and postgraduate nursing students who demonstrate excellence in scholarship.
Prof Alliex, dean of the School of Nursing and Midwifery on the University’s Fremantle and Broome campuses, said it was wonderful to have Notre Dame’s nursing academics recognised.
“It is a privilege to join this Society that is committed to extending the scholarship of nursing and providing support to nurses who aspire towards this goal. This announcement reflects perfectly the Objects which bind the University of Notre Dame Australia,” she said.
