Neddy the NUS Nursing bear and friends at the NUS Nursing programme booth for NUS Open House 2025.

Students and faculty ready to host visitors of the NUS Nursing programme booth at the NUS Open House on 8 March 2025. 

The NUS Open House was back on 8 March 2025 and better than ever. Held at the College of Alice and Peter Tan (CAPT) at University Town (UTown), around 780 visitors dropped by the NUS Nursing programme booth, the highest number in recent years, to speak with student and faculty ambassadors on everything NUS Nursing.

Across the bridge in the dining hall, five powerhouse alumni—each thriving in different nursing specialties—shared their nursing journeys and shed light on the diversity of pathways a nursing degree offers.  

The panel discussion was hosted by NUS Nursing alumna, Kimberley-Ann Tan, who is senior staff nurse and creative lead of a nursing social media page at Tan Tock Seng Hospital (@nursesofttsh on Instagram). Our alumni generously shared their first experiences at NUS Nursing, and how they went on to specialise in their respective exciting tracks.

Meanwhile, in UT Auditorium 3, visitors lived out their Grey’s Anatomy dreams (minus the drama) by testing out the skills and tech that NUS Nursing students use in their daily curriculum.

Immersive VR simulations that threw participants straight into clinical action, with high-stakes scenarios in a simulated operating theatre. 

Did you know: this was not the school’s first Open House rodeo of the year? Just two months ago, NUS Nursing held an Open House specially for polytechnic students and graduates, where visitors toured the state-of-the-art simulation wards, practised CPR on lifelike manikins, and—of course—got another round of VR playthroughs. 

Both Open Houses signalled the beginning of a milestone year for NUS Nursing as 2025 marks 20 years of shaping future healthcare leaders. 

Applications for junior college graduates and diploma holders are open till 19 March 2025. Learn how to apply here: medicine.nus.edu.sg/nursing/education-admissions
