Students and Parents Enthusiastic about HKU Info Day

The HKU Information Day for Undergraduate Admissions resumed its in-person format on October 29, 2022 and was a triumph, with a record number of parents and students taking the opportunity to visit the School campus in person. Many of the visitors wanted to learn about our nursing curriculum, as well as the environment and equipment that the new campus offers.

Through an admission consultation and sharing session with nursing students, the visitors learned about the courses, teaching features, clinical practicum, and career prospects of the Bachelor of Nursing (full-time) programme (JS6468) and the Bachelor of Nursing (full-time) Advanced Leadership Track programme (JS6418), as well as the campus life and other aspects of HKU. A variety of nursing research outputs and community applications were also on display so participants could understand the breadth of nursing and its impact on public health.

A wide array of nursing skill demonstrations were also carried out. Parents and students visited the simulated wards, observed the simulation learning of caring for people of different genders or ages, and could interact with a robot by questioning and diagnosing problems. They also had the chance to practice different nursing skills.

Participants said they were impressed with the enthusiasm and dedication of the School’s students and staff members. The success of the day resulted from the cohesive sense of belonging in the School and the concerted effort of staff and students.
