Nursing Internship in Korea
Congratulations to our MAHSA University Diploma in Nursing students who were selected as the first batch to undergo their internship in Korea. The eight students were in Korea for eleven weeks, from 1 December 2017 until 17 February 2018, in the Elderly Care Centre and Health Care Centre.
Prior to this very exciting trip, the students were given complimentary classes to learn the Korean language. These were all conducted by a Korean lecturer, here in MAHSA. Their air tickets to Korea were fully sponsored and they were also given a monthly allowance of approximately RM1000 each, including hostel and uniform provision. The students only had to prepare their visas and passports for their trip.
The purpose of this internship programme is for the students to gain more experience abroad. The students indeed acquired different skills, were exposed to the nursing norms of Korea and experienced the culture, food and winter in Korea.
The second group of students to go to Korea are currently learning the language and are all excited to go. Let’s wish them all the best. 항상 화이팅!
