NANSYM 2011

assalamualaikum..

2nd National Nursing Student Symposium (NANSYM) was held in UIAM Kuantan on 22nd october '11. yeah, out of all the time in the world, i chose to join this symposium in the midst of insane scheduled and tons of write up. bravo! you are brave nisa!.

this is the main hall for the ceremony to take place. it's in their Kuliyyah of Science. Nursing students in UIA are blessed to have their own faculty, which they addressed as Kuliyyah Of Nursing. It is approximately 15 minutes away from their main campus in Kuantan (minus traffic jam); if you are travelling with engine powered vehicle. if you are late than you are late, no one can help you..

Well fair enough, here in UKM we are blessed with our own hospital and hostel within walking distance. If you are NOT an early bird like me, at least running to class is still possible..  

yeah, our seat are labeled. see there. reserved for UKM! Only four of us from UKM; me, Gervanne, and two juniors : Muazam and Atifah

Entrance of Kuliyyah of Science.

later in the evening, we were scheduled to follow a visit to UIAM's Nursing skills lab in their very own faculty.

this is where their class takes place. The Kuliyyah of Nursing and Medicine (different faculty, same building) is situated near to Kuantan Parade. or is it Kuantan Mall? owh, forgive me for my forgetfulness. there's just too many things cramped in my brain right now..

Their Kuliyyah was on second floor. On your left of the above picture is where their skills lab is situated. Their skills lab is their WOW factor. one of the most advance skills lab in Malaysia I supposed. I'll write about it later!

 Oh yes, we had dinner that night. this was the portion that I successfully take, along with a bowl of mi hoon sup and cendol.  It was ok. Maybe I don't prefer buffet style of dinner if you ask me, especially when you have to queue according to table while your stomach was producing extra gastric acid. It's a torture~~~

overall, the aim of this symposium is to discuss the future of nursing profession, especially for fresh graduated nurses who seem to face difficulty to get placements. insane right, here and there they advertised shortage of nurses and yet these scholar end up jobless. I don't know. perhaps, there will be better future for us. until then....

respect need to be earn. If we want nursing to be respected as a profession, we must show that we are professional in our work. that is the real challenge in nursing.
