Student Research Day Call for Abstracts

Do you have research or a great project idea that you want to share? Do you want practice doing an oral presentation in a safe, yet competitive environment?

Perhaps you want feedback on your graduate work from a varied group of nursing researchers?

On March 23, 2017, the Nursing Graduate Student’s Association (NGSA) and the Faculty of Nursing Research Office are hosting the semi-annual Student Research Day.
