Prior to the Opening Ceremony, the School signed a Memorandumof Understanding (MoU) with the New York University (NYU) Rory Meyers College of Nursing in a signing ceremony. The MoU outlines the forms of academic cooperation and research collaboration which will take place between the two Schools.

By inviting internationally renowned scholars to deliver distinguished lectures in Hong Kong, the Serena Yang Lecture provides an invaluable platform for knowledge exchange between academics and nursing practitioners. The ‘HKU One Night Stay@Nursing’ was held on July 7 and 8, 2018 with around 65 secondary school students who aspire to serve the community as professional nurses joining the camp. Through the exciting 2 days & 1 night of the HKU Nursing camp, the students gained a brief experience of the distinctive and colourful university life of HKU through a high table dinner and an overnight stay at a student hall! They visited the state-of-the-art Nursing Clinical Skills Laboratory and Simulation Training Centre which is equipped with sophisticated and computerised manikins and a simulated clinical environment where nursing students are able to practice total patient care and clinical decision making. Participants of the One Night Stay@ Nursing experienced nursing care procedures on a high-fidelity simulator. 6 th Serena Yang Lecture 6 S chool Highlights HKU One Night Stay@Nursing
