Your HKU Nursing Society – ORENDA

About ORENDA

ORENDA is the 18th iteration of the Nursing Society and it embodies the meaning of its name, which is “The force by which accomplishment is attained.” The society has two primary pursuits: unity and involvement. The first pursuit of unity is geared towards bringing nursing students together and creating opportunities for bonding through various activities. By doing so, ORENDA aims to help its members establish long-lasting relationships and form a supportive community. The second pursuit is involvement, which is centred around ensuring that events and welfare activities are aligned with the interests of members.

ORENDA’s primary endeavour is to promote the well-being of its members through their active participation in the society’s activities. The society values options and appreciates its members’ opinions, and it hopes to create a supportive environment where members can thrive, bond, and enjoy a fruitful year. ORENDA’s logo reflects these aspirations, with an electrocardiogram merging with its name, a heart, and a circle representing all nursing students as a cohesive community. The society’s representative colour, “Lilac”, is an approachable and youthful colour that accentuates its affable nature and encourages its members to work hand in hand with ORENDA to pursue their well-being.

Future Prospects

Our committee members have officially taken up the responsibility to serve nursing students with energy and passion. We recognise that the duty of rekindling the connection between students, school, and faculty now rests on our shoulders. While stepping up to be a committee member of the society is not an easy task, we are committed to the same goal of bringing nursing students together and creating a cohesive community for members to thrive and bond. It’s inevitable that we may encounter disagreements and obstacles along the way, but we are confident in the ability to navigate these challenges. The 10 committee members will work as a team and play an indispensable role in achieving ORENDA’s vision. We understand that our efforts will have a significant impact on the nursing student community, and we are ready to put in the hard work and dedication required to make a positive change. With our passion, energy, and collective effort, ORENDA is poised to create a supportive environment for all members to succeed and flourish.
