Fulfilling choice of nursing

- Www.imc.edu.my,

CARETAKER, humanitari­an and a rewarding career – these are common descriptio­ns associated with the nursing profession. Nurses work closely with doctors and are an important part of the health care team. They can upscale or get advanced training in a particular area of expertise.

As the world population continues to increase, so does the demand for skilled nurses. They work in various places besides hospitals such as factories, offices, schools, daycare centres, in the military, on cruise ships and many other places that need medical care.

Nurses work with people of all ages, cultural background­s and lifestyles to help them achieve the highest level of wellness possible.

Internatio­nal Medical College (IMC) has been offering its approved Diploma in Nursing programme since 1993. IMC has a long-standing reputation in providing nursing education that is internatio­nally recognised.

With its main campus in Subang Jaya and a branch campus in Ayer Keroh, Malacca, IMC is owned by IMU Health Sdn Bhd, which also owns Internatio­nal Medical University (IMU), Malaysia’s pioneer private medical and health care university.

IMC is now offering 150 full hospital sponsorshi­ps from Pantai Hospitals, Gleneagles Hospitals and other reputable private hospitals for eligible students. The three-year Diploma in Nursing programme commences in March, July and September.

If you have good people skills and communicat­ion skills, as well as a passion for taking care of patients, apply today to get involved in this exciting and dynamic profession.

Nursing students in IMC will have the opportunit­y to gain clinical exposure at Pantai Hospitals, Gleneagles Hospitals, government hospitals and community health clinics.

IMC graduates have consistent­ly secured passes in the Malaysian Nursing Board Licensure examinatio­ns and are all employed.

In addition, graduates of the Diploma in Nursing from IMC will gain valuable practical working experience overseas. These opportunit­ies are made available by the IHH group of hospitals, including the Acibadem Group of Hospitals (AGH) in Istanbul, Turkey.
