Completed both Bachelors and Masters degrees from RAKMHSU. I am currently working in MOHAP as a hospital pharmacist where we are provide high standard patient care and patient education. Being a RAKMHSU graduate helped me with up-to-date information and I was able to implement the theoretical study into the practical field efficiently.

As a young ICU nurse, I dreamt about pursuing higher studies and I lived this dream by studying at RAK College of Nursing — RAKMHSU. With varied speciality options, it paved the way for an enriched experience of gaining knowledge and skill. As Nelson Mendala said: ''Everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and are passionate about what they do." It reaffirms and encourages nurses not to miss the moment to study and work, and be expert nurses.
