It was with an euphoric mood the first set of Online distance learning of obafemi Awolowo University, Ile ife, Osun state ended their programme after five years of rigorous learning.The Nursing department of the college of health sciences has two modes of study, the regular full time and part time distance learning mode, before now the part time mode was done on weekends but was replaced by the online blended mode in 2014 with the mission to make many already registered nurses have their degrees and the admission of first set was done in the same year, which saw about 300 registered nurses enroll after passing through series of written and oral examination. Do not forget that the distance learning mode is for nurses who already graduated from schools of nursing. In the course of the programme, many were advised to withdraw , many repeated, and some left for other schools, this makes the graduating number to be just above 190.The visibly elated graduating students made the last week of the 10th semester memorable for themselves by wearing different attires for the different days of the examination with photographic evidence.

On Monday which was for one of the courses, Advanced Community health nursing, they wore adire which they used during their community experience posting, Tuesday, they put on clinical posting uniform with OAU badge, Wednesday, NUNSA week shirts and capped it signout shirts on Thursday with the Lagos based students spiced their shirt with Ankara jackets. The school anthem was rendered shortly before the start of the final paper and a lovely dinner was organized in the evening to wrap up the event with some of the lecturers in attendance. Waoh! It was really a memorable experience for the VENCEDORES 2019 set…. Congratulations to everyone
