NUS Nursing held the Open House for Polytechnic Students on 27 January 2024 and it was fully subscribed with over 100 participants coming by for the event.
Participants, some with parents in tow, visited the various stations of the Open House and got hands on with wound dressing, resuscitation, infant-bathing and Virtual Reality (VR) learning. They also found out more from current students and faculty members on the degree programmes NUS Nursing has to offer for polytechnic students intending to further their studies.
Participants were introduced to the processes of resuscitation at one of the stations.
NUS Nursing students and a faculty member demonstrated the various steps in resuscitation, using a manikin.
Participants observed and one of them tried her hand at infant bathing.
Booths on scholarship and sponsorship opportunities informed participants of various government and university schemes.
At the last station, participants were asked to put on VR headsets to experience the work in a hospital setting and had a taste of essential skills required as a clinical nurse, such as assisting in an operating theatre.
