I am very happy to be here in Sunway University pursuing my Diploma in Nursing as I have experienced things that are beyond my expectation. During clinical posting, I have made patients smile and felt very glad when they leave the hospital healthily. I have also nursed a dying patient until her very last breath. The experiences have helped me to appreciate life and not take health for granted.
JeSSICA mArIe TANStudent
I choose nursing because I enjoy being around people in their times of need and I get internal satisfaction by serving those who need help. I believe that the cure for many of the people’s aliments is not just in medicine, it is in the care that they receive as patients in hospitals and their homes. I believe that it is important to provide a patient with the right kind of atmosphere and environment that is conducive to his/her recovery. I enjoy my training in Sunway University as they provide me a holistic education that is challenging and filled with the support of an amazing education team that is preparing me for my future.
