Two faculty members in the School of Nursing will see their daughters graduate from the Dalhousie BScN degree this Thursday.

Ms. Ellie Bethune's daughter Amy will cross the stage at the Cohn to receive her degree, followed shortly by Dr. J. McFetridge-Durdle's twin daughters Keltie and Jane McFetridge.

Jane McFetridge received the Elizabeth MacKinnon Lambie Award for Nutrition, and Amy Bethune received the IWK Medical Staff Award for Excellence in the Care of Children and Families as well as the Sigma Theta Tau (Rho Rho Chapter) Award for Medical Surgical Nursing.

All are following in their mother's footsteps as they enter the nursing profession.
