Inspiring stories and achievements of some of our fantastic alumni

“During my undergraduate years, I was guided by my peers and lecturers to join a few student-exchange programmes and charity work, which groomed me to be a better person.

“University life was so wonderful! Sunway University does not only focus on curriculum but also places emphasis on extracurricular activities. The out-of-classroom activities exposed me to the outside world and diverse cultures as I made friends with international students. It was such an eye-opening experience,” annotated Waon Tyng, our 2010 Nursing Scholarship recipient.

Career advancement

From student nurse to Senior Staff Nurse, Waon Tyng shares how she has progressed in her 10-year journey with Sunway Medical Centre. 

“I started in a general medical surgical ward when I graduated as staff nurse. With much guidance from senior nurses, I was able to perform competently in just 6 months, after which I requested for a transfer to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) to learn more about critical care. I’ve worked in the ICU since and joined the in-house critical care training that has equipped me to become an ICU nurse.

“While waiting for my turn for post-basic in critical care, I pursued my Bachelor Degree in Nursing and subsequently completed my post-basic training.”
