Nursing
International experience is essential for Nurses.
Learning about diverse people, cultures, beliefs and worldviews can assist nurses in becoming more effective in helping people through illness toward wellness. Research proves that nursing students who studied internationally gain increased skills in self-confidence and cultural awareness, so why not take the opportunity to up your professional game by studying abroad?

As a nursing student at HHJ you have several options to achieve international merits and become a student with an unique skill set that can be valuable in your future studies or working experience.
