The NUS Nursing programme is ranked 18th and 19th globally in the QS World University Ranking by Subject for 2016 and 2017, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>To cater to the higher demand, NUS Nursing has increased its intake of students to 235 this year. This is an increase of 51.6% and 58.8% over 2016 and 2015, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Said Prof Emily Ang, Head of NUS Nursing: &#8220;We are happy that more school-leavers are pursuing an NUS Nursing degree. It is clear that students and their parents recognise the value that the programme brings, through provision of evidence-based education, inter- professional training, and various aspects of the course, all of which aim to equip our graduates to be competent, confident healthcare professionals.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Through our pedagogy, we hope to groom a generation of &#8216;thinking&#8217; nurses and develop future nursing leaders who can take on key roles in hospitals and clinics, where they are working collaboratively with physicians to provide care for patients.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>News
