JCHS gave us students plenty of presentation assignments. I find this a great thing because it helped me to be more confident in my speaking abilities. Gone were the days I had to stick to scripts and merely look at the slides. My public speaking skills have strengthened as well as my interpersonal skills with my peers and mentors. 

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

My name is Nurin Natasha Khairina and I’m currently taking Bachelor of Science in Nursing. As of answering this question, I am in my first year. 

2. How is it like studying at JCHS? 

The college really has been committed to fostering growth and personal development in their students, and that is an aspect I appreciate. Despite being a relatively new college, there is often a strong sense of community between everyone. The classrooms are engaging and there are plenty of activities to explore outside of academics. 

3. What’s your favorite spot on campus and why? 

My favorite spot on campus is the canteen. The food is always good, and the company I have is greater. It’s a nice place for me to take a break from studying and gather with my friends, and talk about our day whether mainstream or not. 

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

I adore how friendly everyone is, especially since we all come from different backgrounds and different cultures. This diversity enriches our interactions and learning experiences, fostering an environment where we can share our unique perspectives and learn from one another. All in all, I felt welcomed because of how easy it was to form meaningful relationships/ 

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

We had an event called ‘Banchetto’, which translates to ‘banquet’. The BSN students were tasked with providing a healthy and nutritional feast for the staff and foundation students, which served as health education regarding the importance of making balanced meals for individuals. Each group worked hard to produce their snacks, and everyone enjoyed tasting each other’s food on the day of the event. I remember feeling tired and weary, but seeing our clients enjoy our food greatly lifted my spirits and it was worth it in the end. 

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

I try my best to finish my revision during the school hours. Once I arrive home, I use what free time I have to spend with my family and on my hobbies. In a nutshell, I treat my studies as if there were a day job and choose to only do my revision within the school vicinity and within school hours. 

7. Who has been your biggest inspiration or mentor at JCHS? 

The sight of my hardworking classmates pushes me to become a more diligent student. They inspire me to push further and pursue my goals whether big or small. In addition, my strong-willed lecturers motivate me to strive for excellence and push beyond my perceived limits, encouraging me to reach my potential. 

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

If I have the chance, I would spend time with my friends or family outside of campus by going to a café or restaurant to have a casual outing. Otherwise, I would spend time at home and watch shows, or start on a new crochet project to ease my mind. If anything else, a good nap is always the best solution. 

9. How has JCHS helped you grow personally and professionally? 

JCHS gave us students plenty of presentation assignments. I find this a great thing because it helped me to be more confident in my speaking abilities. Gone were the days I had to stick to scripts and merely look at the slides. My public speaking skills have strengthened as well as my interpersonal skills with my peers and mentors. 

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

I hope to achieve the mission and vision of JCHS, which is to emerge as a proficient healthcare provider to ensure the comfort of individuals by providing compassionate care. My goals are to make significant contributions to the field of healthcare and positively impact society’s well-being. 

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

The key to maintaining good grades involves effective time management, clear goal-setting, and active engagement in class. Organize your study time, take thorough notes and study with flashcards, and seek help when you don’t understand anything. I advise you to regularly review material to reinforce learning and stay motivated throughout your studies. 

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

Yes, I would recommend the college to my family and friends. But I would have to be honest, as the work ethic adopted by the college is different than the work ethic that is the norm in a normal school. This college requires you to be resolute and determined. You must be able to work under pressure and provide your work with the highest quality. 

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

Healthcare is a field both challenging and incredibly rewarding. Embrace the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives through your dedication to healthcare. Remember, compassion, innovation, and collaboration are essential pillars in transforming the future of healthcare. Stay curious, keep learning, and never underestimate the impact you can have on individuals and communities.
