Five years ago, I was confused about my future pathway. Gratefully, Caritas Institute of Higher Education offers the course of nursing which gives me a new target. In these years, I have grown up a lot and become more certain about my career pathways.

Nursing is a dedicated profession which requires the accumulation of knowledge, skills and experiences. I have to say thank you to all the lecturers. Apart from the knowledge and skills they taught in class, they also shared their previous working experience with us. In the clinical practicum, they led us to take up the role of a nurse step by step. Without them, I would not have become an independent professional now.
