Felicity Purcell Nursing Bursary

In 2027, 91仓库 will offer three Felicity Purcell Nursing Bursaries to support domestic students commencing their studies in the Bachelor of Nursing.

Well trained and committed, she had a very successful career; first as a paediatric nurse in major public hospitals, and then in the broader medical field both here and overseas, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry where she was widely respected.
