The Nursing Science Study Program in 2016 carried out New Student Admission and Development (P2MB) with a slightly different color from previous years. In the P2MB series which was held for two days, there was one agenda where PSIK UH alumni, both those who had worked as nurses abroad or alumni who had the opportunity to continue their Masters/S3 education abroad, were given the opportunity to share experiences and motivation for students. new in the Unhas Nursing Science study program. The agenda, called Sharing with Alumni, was held on August 18, 2016 at the RKF Room, Faculty of Medicine, Hasanuddin University.
In the Sharing With Alumni agenda, Nurhaya Nurdin, S.Kep., Ns., MN., MPH who is also a graduate from one of the universities in Australia acted as moderator. This agenda started by introducing the alumni who had attended, then continued with sharing experiences and then video calls with several alumni via Skype. The Alumni involved include: Ns. Sukardi Suba from USA, Ns. Framita Rahman from UK, Ns. Misbah Abu Ahmad Demba from Saudi Arabia, Ns. Dewi Manapa & Ns Desi Rismayanti from Japan, Ns Sartini Puji Astuti from Sydney & Ns. Nur Fadilah from Melbourne Australia.
The agenda, which lasted for approximately 3 hours, seemed to be going very well. This can be seen from the enthusiasm of the new students when paying attention to the sharing session and during the question and answer session. Some of the questions that arise are related to how to divide the time between studying and organizing, how to get good English skills, to tips on how to get the opportunity to go abroad.

Sri Nining, who revealed through his Facebook account, “It was really cool. Indeed, this is what is most needed as a family at the alma mater. Good luck to all of us nurses and PSIK UH alumni”.
