Nursing Students The X-factor in Improving Community Service Provision

These changes call for more creativity in nursing curricula learning and promoting health in community settings. Taking this initiative, the students from the Diploma in Nursing Program, School of Healthcare and Medical Sciences hosted three events as a fun and an interactive way to reach out to communities. These virtual activities are a partial fulfilment of the program MPU subjects mentored by Department of Nursing’s academician Ms Mangaikresh Krishnan. The objectives of the activities are to provide opportunities for students to socialize and gain experience from the center and to create awareness regarding the life of the children and children with intellectual disorder, domestic abuse and action and what community can contribute to help them. Hosted activities are visits to:

  1. IQ 70 PLUS Petaling Jaya on 27th February 2020
  2. TENAGANITA Petaling Jaya on 7th March 2020
  3. Trinity Children’s Home Petaling Jaya on 12th March 2020

Creating health activities remains one of the most important challenges in nursing as students are required to plan and implement activities. Driven by these challenges, the program revised the activities to better serve the community’s changing needs while enhancing students’ learning and exposure opportunities.
