"We are on the move. We are growing. We are becoming well recognised in the Qatar community. They know we have a quality programme and most importantly, more people are realising the value of a career in nursing," said Dr Carolyn Byrne, dean and CEO of UCQ.
While welcoming the students at an orientation session, Byrne said, "Students are often overwhelmed when they join any university. But we want our students to know that we are here to support them and help them succeed.
We have highly skilled faculty and they are committed to providing quality nursing education. Never be afraid to ask questions. Never think that you aren't smart enough." The dean also expressed her gratitude to the Hamad Medical Corporation and Sidra for sponsoring many of students who are presently employed in the healthcare system.
