Nursing In Malaysia

Malaysia has 75,000 registered nurses in the public and private sector.

The demand for nurses has increased tremendously for the past few years due to the rapid progression in the healthcare sector in Malaysia.

Malaysia is yet to have an International Nursing University -  an international university specializing in nursing studies. The presence of such a university would augur well for the development of academic excellence and professional skills in the nursing profession in Malaysia.

A nurse may aspire to be a clinical specialist, a director of nursing or a university professor in university. An experienced nurse may also run her own nursery and there are opportunities to pursue a career abroad.
