An excellent programme! Even includes some spasticity management in the symptom module!

Yesterday I had the opportunity to discuss with Veríssimo Gil Miranda da Silva international and national career opportunities. Both of us were wondering where we should go as nurses and if there was room for us in Portugal after a long international career. After reflecting about the conversation I found myself categorising people into 2 types: those who have roots and those who have wings. People with roots often look to build a solid ground. They seek stability and a sense of belonging. But there are also those who soar beyond the confines of their comfort zones, who seek to constantly embrace new challenges and to seek out opportunities for personal and professional development. And regardless if you have wings or/and roots one should not be forced to leave their country to embrace new challenges and opportunities. As Dalai Lama once said: "Give people wings to fly, roots to return and reasons to stay". Unfortunately in Portugal, opportunities are limited, there is not much space or stage for young talent. Experience and age are still a synonym of talent. In an era where people are thirsty for knowledge, growth and development, wings are growing, roots are shrinking and reasons to stay are fading. Anyway if you are a nurse seeking opportunities beyond borders feel free to reach out for some guidance/ support or simply to bounce some ideas off. #NursingCareer #wings #roots #CareerGrowth #SupportiveCommunity #Nurses

Do you know you can study master's in nursing abroad without having a nursing degree? The good side is, you can get a job even before you graduate. Yes, we all know that nursing is a very lucrative career abroad because of the availability of jobs and the flexibility the job offers. So read on, if you are interested in taking this ride or you know someone who can (wants to). ✅ First, I wouldn't talk about scholarship opportunities for this program because there are rarely any fund available for this program. It is 99.99% self-funded. ✅ It is more expensive than the usual master's and it's longer than usual master's. You have to be able to fund yourself and your living expenses for this period. ✅ The program is called pre-registration master's in nursing. You have to take a route or a speciality of choice to master in. It takes about 2-3 years to complete. ✅ It is quite intense and demanding, you really need to give it your all. ✅ It is called pre-registration master's because its meant for people who do not have pre registration as a nurse or those who do not have first degree in nursing. Alongside the master's you will be registered upon graduation as a nurse under a particular specialty (say adult nursing, mental health nursing etc). Above all, it is highly worth it at the end!!! . . Note: It is not all schools that offer this program, but you can make a wide search and create a list. I can't do that for you at the moment, but I will find time to do it if you people follow my YouTube channel aggressively😋. Otherwise, I no dey do🤨😎 At the moment, schools I know that offer the program in the UK are Glasgow Caledonian University and Manchester Metropolitan University. . . . . . . . Meanwhile, it was a beautiful sunny day the other day and I had a stroll☺️ #studyinuk #nursing #tochimbaogu #scholarship_edge #fypシ゚

Study at Kilis 7 Aralik University examines cultural intelligence and career adaptability in nursing students. Positive correlations found between scores of both scales. Factors like father's occupation and desire to work abroad influence cultural intelligence. Father's occupation also impacts career adaptability. Implications for nursing education and workforce readiness. For more information kindly visit the link below: https://lnkd.in/dbdAdU-F #CulturalIntelligence #CareerAdaptability #NursingEducation

PRESS RELEASE: 31st March, 2024, Deadline for Registration and Recognition of Colleges and Institutions Providing Specialised Training Issued on 12th March, 2024 By Mr. Birbal Boniface Musoba Corporate Communications Officer Higher Education Authority   The Higher Education Authority (HEA) wishes to inform all Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), specifically colleges and institutions providing specialised training, that the 31st March, 2024, deadline is approaching by which all HEIs should be registered and/or recognised by the Authority as provided for by the Higher Education Act No. 4 of 2013 as read with the Higher Education (Amendment) Act, 2021. All institutions not registered by the deadline will be published as operating illegally. This, in particular, is in reference to unregistered private HEIs and public HEIs that have not yet been recognised as it is illegal to run an HEI that is not registered in Zambia. Therefore, all those running colleges, public and private, are urged to ensure that the colleges are registered and/or recognised by HEA to avoid being inconvenienced and published in a daily newspaper of general circulation as abrogating the law that governs the provision of higher education in Zambia. Therefore, to facilitate a quick registration and recognition process, HEA has temporarily suspended the accreditation of learning programmes requirements for HEIs in this category. The Authority will conduct an orientation workshop on accreditation process for these HEIs in April 2024. This statement encompasses all HEIs which were previously under the oversight of bodies such as the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Zambia (NMCZ), Health Professionals Council of Zambia (HPCZ), Teaching Council of Zambia (TCZ), and Ministries and Agencies of the Government of the Republic of Zambia. To learn more about higher education in Zambia, the public is advised to regularly refer to HEA’s website, www.hea.org.zm or email info@hea.org.zm, or call +260 211 227 084.

I welcome the Government’s announcements of paid placements for teaching, nursing, midwifery and social work students, and relief for study debts. These measures were recommended in the Australian Universities Accord final report. University students have been forced to overcome substantial financial barriers to complete placements and pay for their courses, especially in recent times when cost-of-living expenses have hit hard. Australia’s productivity and wellbeing depends on enabling more students to attend and graduate from university, filling essential skills gaps for our communities. While these changes are welcomed, it is disheartening that financial support for students on placements will not commence until July next year. Students need this money now. In 2023, Charles Sturt had more than 16,000 student placements, totalling more than 1.9 million hours, many of which must be completed away from their hometowns. We are anticipating similar figures in 2024 and argue strongly that these students need to receive these payments to support them to continue their studies. These measures are a welcome start to addressing the cost of university education especially for regional and equity students, but more is needed. The University calls on the government to urgently develop the needs-based funding model that will enable universities to support equity students to succeed.
