My journey with AKU’s School of Nursing and Midwifery began seven years ago when I had joined the undergraduate programme. I was always keen about participating in forums that would help me channelise my creative skills and boost my critical thinking ability, and I was given many such opportunities at #akusonam. From participating in Hackathons to receiving sponsorship for a leadership conference in Russia, I’ve enjoyed every opportunity that the School offers its students.
After my BScN, I got a chance to do a three-month internship at the Aga Khan Medical Centre in Gilgit - which was a completely different experience! Along with my colleagues, I conducted need-based training and mentorship sessions on resource management, infection control and early warning signs for the nurses, and contributed in deliberations on expanding healthcare services in the region.” – Maira Nizam, MScN ’22 and BScN ’17.
Maira has enrolled in a master’s degree programme, opted to study part-time and is continuing to work as a Registered Nurse with elderly patients in the orthopaedics department at Aga Khan University Hospital.
