Maynooth University Launches Ireland’s First New School Of Nursing In 20 Years

Applications will open on the CAO website on August 28th for the new nursing school which is approved by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland.

Ireland is getting its first new school of nursing in over 20 years.

Maynooth University says its first students will begin their BSc in general nursing this September.

Applications will open on the CAO website on August 28th for the new nursing school which is approved by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland.

Professor Fintan Sheerin, Founding Head of the new MU School of Nursing, said: “What makes the new School’s approach especially distinctive is our focus on integrating community care and primary care - shifting away from a hospital model of nurse education to a community-focussed model of maintaining health and well-being."
