Graduating Warriors in Nursing | Belfast News

Three extraordinary women are graduating from Queen’s University, each with deeply personal stories that shaped their paths to nursing and academia. Victoria Craig, driven by the trauma of her daughter’s premature birth, became a neonatal nurse and now earns her PhD while raising three kids. Stephanie Burton overcame early academic doubts, a life-altering car accident, and a late ADHD diagnosis — plus a diagnosis of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome — to become a research fellow and lecturer. Donna Marie Henry, at 49, fulfills a lifelong dream with her children’s nursing degree and is already working in hospitals. And Erin McGrattan, a camogie champion and cancer researcher, graduates with her PhD alongside her siblings — balancing elite sports with groundbreaking medical research. Their journeys prove resilience, passion, and purpose can thrive even in the face of immense challenge. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
