In 2007, All Saints University School of Medicine began preparation for the offering of Nursing. This four-year, eight-semester programme, is endorsed by the General Nursing Council for Dominica. It is equivalent to any nurse baccalaureate programme internationally, and prepares graduates effectively, to challenge the Regional Examination for Nurse Registration, which qualifies them to practice Nursing in the Region. The University will continue to provide support to these graduates to also prepare them for International licensure.

ASUSM is in full compliance with the Government of Dominica protocols for managing Covid-19, and so, will have limited number of relatives and friends of the graduating class and government officials at the venue.

The feature speaker will be Mrs. Vanya Bruney-Loblack, a prominent Dominican nurse for over 30 years.

Mrs Terrilia Ravaliere, the Principal Nursing Officer, will put on each graduate, the University’s nursing pin.

The Minister for Health will distribute to deserving graduates, Awards for Academic Excellence, Clinical Competence, Leadership, Caring and the Director’s Professional Award.

All Saints University is extremely grateful to those who were instrumental in getting the students competent. We are confident that our training has prepared our graduates exceptionally, for giving professional patient- oriented care wherever they may be employed after obtaining their licenses.
