President Milanović Meets with Vinogradska Nursing School Representatives to Mark 65 Years of Work
The President of the Republic Zoran Milanović received representatives of the Vinogradska Nursing School from Zagreb today on the occasion of the school’s 65th anniversary.
The Vinogradska Nursing School educates students to acquire a vocational qualification as a nurse or general nursing technician over a five-year programme. This year, under the patronage of the President of the Republic, the school celebrates its 65th anniversary. Expressing gratitude to President Milanović for his patronage, Director Višnja Pranjić presented the organization of the school, which currently consists of 20 classes and 518 students, supported by a team of 50 teachers, four professional associates, 21 external collaborators, and eight administrative and technical staff members.
The Vinogradska Nursing School is the only five-year secondary school in Croatia where approximately 100 students graduate each year, with half of them continuing their education in the medical field, it was highlighted at the meeting. As the school is currently operating in the premises of the Public Open University Zagreb due to ongoing reconstruction work at Vinogradska Hospital, representatives of the Nursing School hope to return to their own facilities after the renovation, as this would better accommodate the needs of the complex educational process.
In addition to the Director of Vinogradska Nursing School, Višnja Pranjić, the meeting at the Office of the President was also attended by instructors and staff members Dubravka Protić, Tatjana Antičević, Gordana Major, Monika Lovrek Seničić, Miroslava Kičić, Ivana Horvat, Suzana Avgustinović, Dajana Antunović, Ana Tomić, Ana Mutić, Ines Grgurević, Alma Karabegović, Aida Krkić, Martina Trnčević, Cvita Pastuović Grljević, Milica Mikecin, Dorotea Pikula, Lana Martinović, and Ljiljana Varivoda.
President Milanović was accompanied by Jadranka Žarković, Adviser to the President of the Republic for Education.
