These sessions were instrumental in guiding the students through their clinical experiences, offering both academic support and professional advice. The mentorship not only enriched their learning journey but also fostered a supportive and nurturing environment, essential for their personal and professional development.

On 16th May 2024, in conjunction with the Professional Examination 2024 result announcement ceremony for our final year students, and Nurses Day Celebration; a heartfelt farewell ceremony was held for the twelve Universiti Brunei Darussalam students. This event was a fitting conclusion to their journey at IIUM, celebrating their achievements and the bonds formed during the programme.

As we celebrate the completion of this programme, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to them. Their dedication, hard work, and commitment to excellence have been truly commendable. We are confident that the knowledge and skills they have acquired during this programme will significantly contribute to their success in future endeavors. We wish them all the best as they embark on their nursing careers and continue to uphold the highest standards of healthcare.
