A Day at JCHS: Guiding the Next Generation of Nurses

At the JPMC College of Health Sciences (JCHS), “A Day at JCHS” is a recurring event that welcomes aspiring healthcare professionals to explore the life of a nursing student. Designed for future students and their families, the programme provides an engaging introduction to academic life and the opportunities offered at JCHS.

Visitors are given campus tours, opportunities to meet with faculty and current students, and insights into the college’s balance of academic excellence, practical training, and holistic student development. A highlight of the day is the demonstration of Body Interact on Smart TV—a virtual patient simulator that forms part of the nursing curriculum. JCHS is the first institution in Brunei to integrate this innovative learning tool, reflecting its commitment to providing students with advanced, technology-driven training experiences.

Each edition of “A Day at JCHS” continues to attract enthusiastic participation, with students and parents alike expressing keen interest in healthcare and the nursing profession. The programme fosters interactive and meaningful exchanges, making the experience both insightful and inspiring.

By making “A Day at JCHS” a regular feature, JCHS ensures that more opportunities will be available for the community to discover the unique environment, modern learning resources, and supportive guidance the college offers. Through this initiative, JCHS remains dedicated to shaping the next generation of competent and compassionate healthcare leaders.

1.Tell us your full name and what program you are currently taking.

– My name is Nurul Adibah Othman, and I am currently enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program at JCHS.

How is it like studying at JCHS?

– Studying at JCHS has been amazing. I’ve learned a lot, and the lecturers are very supportive. Both lectures and laboratory classes are handled by dedicated lecturers who are experts and passionate.

What’s your favorite spot on campus and why?

– My favourite spot on the campus is the cafeteria because there’s foods. I am such a foodie. However, it is not exactly just a place for me to grab my meals, but it is also where we catch up with each other especially with friends from other classes.

Although quite recently, what are the things you like about JCHS?

– Recently, I’m quite thankful to the school for inviting some of the guest speakers, some nurses, to give speeches at our school during the nurse’s day. Their speeches inspired me to strive for the best, not to give up and believe in myself that there’s nothing impossible.

Can you share a memorable or funny moment you’ve had at JCHS?

– There’s a lot of memories I’ve made for the past almost 2 years in JCHS. One thing I would always remember and be grateful of was when I was told that I am one of the selected students for the Gleneagles Scholarship applicants and I got the opportunity to be interviewed. Almost missed the chances because I didn’t check my email during our break, but alhamdulillah, I didn’t miss the opportunity given and I was chosen as the scholarship recipient along with one of my classmates.

How do you balance your studies with social activities or hobbies?

– Balancing studies with all the social activities or hobbies is very important to maintain our sanity. I always make sure to prioritize my task, make schedule, and make free time to interact with others and to do any of my hobbies.

Who has been your biggest inspiration or mentor at JCHS?

– My biggest inspiration at JCHS has been Sir Nemencio Santoz. He often shares his story and journey in nursing, demonstrating his dedication both as a family man and a professional. He never forgets his responsibilities as a teacher and nurse, always guiding and supporting us. Personally, I admire his love for his family and career, and his teaching has greatly helped me in my academics.

What do you do to relax and unwind after a long day of classes?

– I enjoy reading books and spending time with my family and friends. Occasionally, I would play games on my gadget or play any board games with my family as well as watching any dramas or movies.

How has JCHS helped you grow personally and professionally?

– JCHS has provided me with many opportunities to develop, especially during our clinical sessions. These experiences have equipped me with valuable skills and insights for which I am very thankful. I used to be a timid person, especially around strangers, but after our clinical sessions, my mentors Miss Julie and Ma’am Frida helped me greatly improve my personal skills, such as my communication with patients.

What do you hope to achieve at JCHS, and what are your goals and dreams?

– At JCHS, I aim to excel academically and gain substantial practical experience to prepare me for my future career. My goals are to provide efficient patient care and to make positive changes in our healthcare system. I also dream of becoming a clinical nursing specialist in the near future and hope to achieve that.

Can you give tips and advice on how you maintain good grades in your studies?

– Every student has their own style of learning. For me, I sometimes maintain good grades by reading and cramming the notes given, though this is not an ideal method. Additionally, I use the Pomodoro technique, where I set a timer to review or complete a task for 30 minutes, take a 5-minute break, and then repeat the cycle until I finish studying. This method helps me maintain focus since I easily lose concentration. It allows me to review effectively while also relaxing my brain and preventing feelings of overwhelm.

Would you recommend your family and friends to enroll in JCHS?

– I would absolutely recommend JCHS to my family and friends. The supportive environment here makes it a great choice for anyone wanting to pursue nursing. Although there are still some areas that need improvement since the college is new and we are the first intake, there is plenty of room for growth.

Do you have anything you wish to say to the next Future Healthcare Leaders?

– To the next Future Healthcare Leaders, I hope you seize every opportunity that comes your way because these chances won’t come twice. Grab them or regret it. As future nurses, we should always keep learning because this journey is a lifelong one.
