I am Noureen Shoukat, had done my BScN as a Position holder from Ziauddin College of Nursing. College Faculty members taught me to think critically while providing patient care and time management. It is Ziauddin College of Nursing who has given me the confidence to enlighten the way for my future endeavors. The field of nursing is very challenging but I can honestly say that it enhanced my knowledge and skills which helped me to provide quality care to patients.

Mr. Muhammad Hasnain Shaikh, gold medalist from the College of Nursing have remained high grade achiever throughout his studies. He is hardworking, committed, obedient and possesses all qualities to be a good nurse. Besides, excellence in academic he also participated in extracurricular activities. He participated in community teachings, presentations, seminars and poster presentations during his studies. His caring and polite attitude was reflected in interaction with patients, their family members, class fellows and other health care team members at Dr. Ziauddin Hospital and other clinical areas that are core value of nursing profession.

I began looking for several nursing colleges as soon as I completed my intermediate. I was made aware of a variety of options, but as soon as I learned about the professors, individualized practice sessions, community, and exposure that ZUFONAM offers its students, it immediately rose to the top of my list.

My entire nursing journey has been nothing but a roller coaster ride, full of laughs, difficulties, and opportunities to grow. Since I had such a supportive faculty, family, and wonderful platform that gave me exposure, everything seemed manageable and doable. Student week, community visits, medical camps, and other co-curricular activities gave me the chance to discover more about myself and pique curiosity, which motivated me to seek out more knowledge.

I’ve certainly put in a lot of effort to get here and I can’t help but marvel at how much I have learned and how far I’ve come during this journey. From being taken aback by the coagulation cascade to managing bleeding patients and from trembling at the sight of CPR to being the one standing between life and death. ZUFONAM has hammered me into shape, drilled into my resilience, and taught me that if

I put my mind on something, and then even the sky isn’t a limit for me.

“NURSES ARE THE REAL ESSENCE OF HEALTH CARE SYSTEM.”

I still remember my first day at the Faculty of Nursing Midwifery and that was a different energy that I could still feel. My four-year journey was more than a classroom experience, we had one on one mentoring sessions with our teachers and I think that I had some of the best mentors at the school and then we had skill sessions and those were perhaps the best practice sessions as we actually applied what we learn in the classroom and this made us more confident before handling the actual patients. Our university also gives us a chance to participate in extracurricular activities by providing platforms such as the student council in which I participated twice and served as Vice President in my final year, which enhanced my leadership skills, my confidence level, and much more!!

I cannot wait to enroll in the master program at ZUFONAM.
