The trip to Singapore has been very fruitful and delightful. We still remember the first day arriving at the school and finding ourselves completely lost on campus, but the students there were very kind and showed us around. It was great to make new friends, but what impressed us even more was the nursing faculty itself where we were shown top-notch simulation facilities. We also visited Peacehaven Nursing Home with other nursing students from Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Taiwan. This Nursing Home aims to provide holistic care to the elderly and the staff told us about the care and equipment that they provide. For instance, virtual leisure activities are arranged for elderly with dementia so they can train their cognitive skills. This was a rewarding visit that enabled us to gain a better understanding about the kind of care provided in a Singaporean nursing home.

Aside from academic aspect, Singapore is a lively and beautiful city with people coming from different cultures. The harmony in the society made us feel at home and comfortable. Garden By The Bay, Universal Studio Singapore and other sightseeing features made us not willing to leave. Overall, this is a trip that we will not forget!
