View(s): Ms. Shaluni Tissera Registered Nurse, Australia. Advanced Diploma in General Nursing (3 years – IIHS) + Bachelors in Nursing (1 year – Deakin University) School: Holy Family Convent, Wennappuwa “When I enrolled in the Advanced Diploma in Nursing at IIHS, my dream at the time was to be a Registered Nurse in Australia. IIHS uplifts the professional status of nurses in Sri Lanka and the region by providing quality academic delivery through the most advanced and up to date methods. I was provided the opportunity to complete many research projects which provided me the opportunity to present at International Council of Nurses Conference (2017) in Spain and the 13th International Congress on Nursing Informatics in Geneva. I never believed that I would be presented with such academic openings and the guidance I have received from the staff at IIHS has been humbling. Upon completing my 3 year Advanced Diploma in General Nursing programme at IIHS I was selected as the Most Outstanding Student of IIHS in 2017. Due to my achievements at IIHS, I received the Deakin Vice-Chancellor’s Scholarship (50% Scholarship) which provide an immense financial relief for me when I completed my 1 year Bachelors in Nursing Degree at Deakin University Australia. I currently work as a Regsitered Nurse and I am completing my Honours year at Deakin Universty. I am also a recipient of the Sigma Theta Tau International Honour Society of Nursing (Sigma) which is awarded to high achievers in their graduating class ”. – Shaluni Tissera | |
