It was my immense luck and fortune to be a part of UKM, where I can grow. The entire faculty and department leave no stone unturned to shape one’s future. My three years at UKM have been a wonderful experience of learning with prolific exposure to the outside world. However, here at UKM, it is more than just learning and remembering the theory. I learned time management while enjoying the learning environment and experiences at UKM. UKM is a great avenue to develop your academic and personal skills.

It is a lifelong goal of mine to acquire a nursing degree from a publicly funded university. For my nursing profession, I believe that UKM Nursing is the greatest possible decision. Throughout the course, I was trained by professors and clinical instructors who were not only experts in their fields but also genuinely cared about my future career as a nurse practitioner. The UKM nursing faculty never quit functioning to provide the best care possible for us, even when the Covid 19 pandemic hit. I don't think I would have blossomed as much without the caring atmosphere that UKM gave for learning. The three years I spent at UKM were incredibly motivating and, without a doubt, formative experiences for me. Here at UKM, though, it's about more than just memorising facts and figures. At UKM, I was able to improve my time management skills while also having a great time in a stimulating academic setting. Attending UKM is a fantastic way to advance your intellectual and personal growth. Additionally, their blended learning initiatives increase the contemporary relevance of education. My degree is now more valuable thanks to the opportunity to learn and develop new abilities, including leadership, which I pursued and obtained. I hope that any future nurses enjoy the same kind of supportive learning environment that I did at UKM's Faculty of Medicine, because my time there was so transformative and enriching. I think that all the students who are considering nursing as a profession will find it to be a rewarding one, both economically and in terms of the satisfaction they will experience from the care they provide to their patients or the knowledge they pass on to their colleagues. Therefore, let's make it a priority to continue our nursing education throughout our careers.
