Nurul Raihah Syazana Syukriah @ Diana binti Abdul Rahim
Bachelor of Science in Nursing

Throughout my learning experience in JCHS, they taught me how to use critical thinking in solving problems and somehow it helped me to think out of the box, be wise, and grow professionally.

1. Tell us your full name and what program you are currently taking.
– Hello, my name is Nurul Raihah Syazana Syukriah @ Diana binti Abdul Rahim, the first batch taking Bachelor in Health Science Nursing at JCHS.

2. How is it like studying at JCHS?
– As we all know, all our lecturers are from FEU, Philippines. So, studying at JCHS feels like studying in a different country, with a different kind of vibe, and different teaching and learning strategies in a positive way, but you still feel like home.

3. What’s your favorite spot on campus and why?
– My favorite spot would be the classroom because it’s where I feel most comfortable studying. Other than that, I would say the library for its quiet atmosphere.

4. Although quite recently, what are the things you like about JCHS?
– I would say the management system. They always ask for feedback from students and always try to improve and make sure that they fulfill the students’ needs.

5. Can you share a memorable or funny moment you’ve had at JCHS?
– I have lots of memorable moments in JCHS. One of them was when I entered JCHS, I thought I would be ‘lonely’, but apparently, my former JPMC colleague applied to JCHS too, and some students already expected that I would enter the school because they actually saw me during a JPMC interview as a nurse. I felt honored to hear one of the girls say, “You are my idol as a nurse.”

6. How do you balance your studies with social activities or hobbies?
– I am married and I have a child. At first, I found it hard to balance studying and my time with family. But then, I am grateful, I have a husband who has been very understanding and supportive throughout my journey.

7. Who has been your biggest inspiration or mentor at JCHS?
– This is a very difficult question. However, I can say that I see each one of the lecturers as my biggest inspirations. They have different stories, backgrounds, experiences, and achievements that have led them to where they are now. I understand how hard it is to achieve what you want, especially when you already have a family and other commitments.

8. What do you do to relax and unwind after a long day of classes?
– I prefer staying at home or going somewhere with my family to chill and relax.

9. How has JCHS helped you grow personally and professionally?
– Throughout my learning experience at JCHS, they taught me how to use critical thinking in solving problems, which has helped me think outside the box, make wise decisions, and grow professionally.

10. What do you hope to achieve at JCHS, and what are your goals and dreams?
– After I quit my job as a nurse, my only goal and dream is to finish my study and get my degree, and if I could achieve higher, that would be a bonus point for me.

11. Can you give tips and advice on how you maintain good grades in your studies?
– Different people have different learning styles and strategies. I am not good at memorizing, so I suggest studying right after you finish each module and understanding what has been taught in class rather than memorizing it. Additionally, keep motivating yourself to study harder.

12. Would you recommend your family and friends to enroll in JCHS?
– Yes! If you are looking for a different kind of learning system and one of the most innovative colleges in Brunei, JCHS is the one. If I may add, they will give you chances, guide you, help you, and make sure that you pass and achieve good grades.

13. Do you have anything you wish to say to the next Future Healthcare Leaders?
– To all students who will be graduating from JCHS in the future and working in healthcare professions, I wish and encourage you to deliver the best quality of care to meet the needs of all people. Remember the 5Cs from one of the Nursing Theories: Commitment, Conscience, Competence, Compassion, and Confidence.

  1. What’s your favorite spot on campus and why?

– My favourite spot on the campus is the cafeteria because there’s foods. I am such a foodie. However, it is not exactly just a place for me to grab my meals, but it is also where we catch up with each other especially with friends from other classes.

  1. Although quite recently, what are the things you like about JCHS?

– Recently, I’m quite thankful to the school for inviting some of the guest speakers, some nurses, to give speeches at our school during the nurse’s day. Their speeches inspired me to strive for the best, not to give up and believe in myself that there’s nothing impossible.

  1. Can you share a memorable or funny moment you’ve had at JCHS?

– There’s a lot of memories I’ve made for the past almost 2 years in JCHS. One thing I would always remember and be grateful of was when I was told that I am one of the selected students for the Gleneagles Scholarship applicants and I got the opportunity to be interviewed. Almost missed the chances because I didn’t check my email during our break, but alhamdulillah, I didn’t miss the opportunity given and I was chosen as the scholarship recipient along with one of my classmates.

  1. How do you balance your studies with social activities or hobbies?

– Balancing studies with all the social activities or hobbies is very important to maintain our sanity. I always make sure to prioritize my task, make schedule, and make free time to interact with others and to do any of my hobbies.

  1. Who has been your biggest inspiration or mentor at JCHS?

– My biggest inspiration at JCHS has been Sir Nemencio Santoz. He often shares his story and journey in nursing, demonstrating his dedication both as a family man and a professional. He never forgets his responsibilities as a teacher and nurse, always guiding and supporting us. Personally, I admire his love for his family and career, and his teaching has greatly helped me in my academics.

  1. What do you do to relax and unwind after a long day of classes?

– I enjoy reading books and spending time with my family and friends. Occasionally, I would play games on my gadget or play any board games with my family as well as watching any dramas or movies.

  1. How has JCHS helped you grow personally and professionally?

– JCHS has provided me with many opportunities to develop, especially during our clinical sessions. These experiences have equipped me with valuable skills and insights for which I am very thankful. I used to be a timid person, especially around strangers, but after our clinical sessions, my mentors Miss Julie and Ma’am Frida helped me greatly improve my personal skills, such as my communication with patients.

  1. What do you hope to achieve at JCHS, and what are your goals and dreams?

– At JCHS, I aim to excel academically and gain substantial practical experience to prepare me for my future career. My goals are to provide efficient patient care and to make positive changes in our healthcare system. I also dream of becoming a clinical nursing specialist in the near future and hope to achieve that.

  1. Can you give tips and advice on how you maintain good grades in your studies?

– Every student has their own style of learning. For me, I sometimes maintain good grades by reading and cramming the notes given, though this is not an ideal method. Additionally, I use the Pomodoro technique, where I set a timer to review or complete a task for 30 minutes, take a 5-minute break, and then repeat the cycle until I finish studying. This method helps me maintain focus since I easily lose concentration. It allows me to review effectively while also relaxing my brain and preventing feelings of overwhelm.

  1. Would you recommend your family and friends to enroll in JCHS?

– I would absolutely recommend JCHS to my family and friends. The supportive environment here makes it a great choice for anyone wanting to pursue nursing. Although there are still some areas that need improvement since the college is new and we are the first intake, there is plenty of room for growth.

  1. Do you have anything you wish to say to the next Future Healthcare Leaders?

– To the next Future Healthcare Leaders, I hope you seize every opportunity that comes your way because these chances won’t come twice. Grab them or regret it. As future nurses, we should always keep learning because this journey is a lifelong one.
