Director of Education Message
I am pleased to welcome you to the NUS Bachelor of Science (Nursing) degree programme at the Alice Lee Centre for Nursing Studies. Nursing is both an art and a science. In delivering a student-centred learning experience, we train and nurture our future nurses to not only become competent in clinical skills and knowledge, but also demonstrate kindness and empathy. In an ever-evolving nursing practice landscape, our specially-designed programme prepares our future nurses with the necessary skills and right values to provide holistic patient-centred care across the healthcare continuum, including acute inpatient care and community care settings.
