Karina Siu Tsz-kar | Year 3 Bachelor of Nursing (Full-time) student

Taking part in this exchange programme at Duke University School of Nursing was an eye-opening experience. Our exchange programme offered us the opportunity to meet, converse, and learn from professors, lecturers, and nursing students from around the world, as well as learn about their nurse-led health interve ntions and projects focused on global health issues. These interactions inspired me with a deeper understanding of the concept of “Nurses as leaders” and triggered me to come up with more innovative and creative ideas to promote effective strategies in the Hong Kong healthcare system. During the programme, we also learned how to conduct a Multinational Evidence-Based Intervention, in which I gained experience in assessing and critiquing evidence from scholars from around the world. This experience has given me the confidence to pursue research and implement different healthcare projects in the future, and I am eager to share my experience with my peers at HKU.
