International Islamic University, Malaysia-IIUM

From a humble beginning of 12 students, the Kulliyyah had increased the student intake to more than 50 students, making the total of 173 enrolled students in 2009, consisting of 138 females and 35 male students. Out of this total, there are 2 international students from Saudi Arabia.

At present there are 36 academic staffs, 3 of them are not Register Nurses. Majority of them are still pursuing their Masters in Nursing or PhDs either abroad or locally.

From the time the Kulliyyah was formed, the Annex Building of the Kulliyyah of Medicine was used as the temporary office. When the Kulliyyah of Medicine shifted to the Indera Mahkota Campus (IMC), the Kulliyyah of Nursing occupied the whole second floor as its administrative office and Clinical Laboratory. In 2009 the office was shifted to the second floor from the original office on the ground floor. Now the office is more spacious and located at a more strategic place next to the teaching and learning facilities in particular near the Clinical Skill’s Laboratory. This skill’s lab is still under renovation to accommodate more simulated mannequins that are purchased for effective skills training.

Nurses play an important role in the patient care both in the government and private hospitals and they are essential personnel in the healthcare services. Currently, there is shortage of nurses in the country and the government health services. It is hoped that this programme will improve the situation and thereby consolidate the health services in Malaysia.
