Sue and Peter are delighted to announce that their daughter, Jennifer Eaman, recently
graduated from the nurse practitioner program at Queen’s. Sue writes, “Jennifer has university degrees from both Western and Ryerson, but she finally ‘saw the light’ and joined the ranks of Queen’s students. She was especially happy with her decision because many other universities that offer this program had to postpone the practicum requirement due to lack of placement opportunities during the pandemic. Queen’s, however, found placements for all of the nurse practitioner students, and Jennifer, along with her classmates, was able to graduate this past fall. Well done, everyone!”
