Tung Shin Academy of Nursing was started in 1992 and began a two year Certificate in Nursing Course. To date, more than 350 Assistant Nurses qualified from this program are serving in various hospitals throughout Malaysia and Singapore. In 2012, the Academy began an additional program, that is Diploma in Nursing – a three year, full-time training program.
It is our belief that the role of the Nurse is to contribute to the provision of optimum standards of individualized, research-based, holistic care without discrimination; which reflects at all times the rights of the clients relating to respect, comfort, privacy, information and health education. To achieve optimum standard of care, we maintain that it is essential for the Assistant Nurses / Diploma trained nurses to be sensitive and committed to care in nursing.
Tung Shin Academy of Nursing strives to be a center of excellence in Certificate in Nursing and Diploma in Nursing in the Klang Valley.
The training programs are designed to enable the Assistant Nurses and Staff Nurses to acquire necessary knowledge and skills pertinent to the art and science of nursing as well as to adopt compassionate and committed attitudes when rendering competent care. The training will also enhance personal and professional growth of Assistant Nurses / Diploma trained nurses to a higher level through continued education.
On successful completion of the 2 year course, the Assistant Nurse or 3 year Diploma nurse is expected to:
- Link theory with practice when providing quality nursing care to patients undergoing curative, restorative, preventive and rehabilitative procedures.
- Realize her role as a member of the health care team involved in the total management of patients.
- Adopt the correct attitude necessary for the effective practice of nursing.
As stipulated by Nursing Board, Ministry of Health, Malaysia.
