Year 4 Bachelor of Nursing (Full-time) students

We are most grateful for this exchange opportunity to the University of Connecticut, which allowed us to reflect and compare ourselves with American nursing students. We were inspired by their enthusiasm in learning and observed that the teaching system in the US was very much emphasized on research and innovation. This helped us to understand that nurses are also responsible for advocating and facilitating new developments in the field.

Other than visiting different hospital and rehabilitation settings, we also enjoyed the authentic culture and lifestyle there. Every day after school, we cooked and studied together in a lovely apartment. We also made use of our spare time to visit some major attractions in New York and Boston, such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). This unique experience has definitely become a precious memory to all of us.
