Testimonials.

Being a part of the college of health sciences and the department of nursing was a once in a lifetime experience filled with not only great memories, but also a great support system from the community at UOS. I will forever be grateful for the valuable education I have received that allowed me to continue my journey with confidence. I am also thankful for all the fun moments I shared with the faculty and my colleagues as there is rarely a dull moment in this department. After 4 eventful years at the university, it is still hard for me to let go because UOS will always be a part of the person I am today.

Graduating from university of sharjah was a defining moment in my life, and I am grateful for the knowledge and skills I gained during my bachelors' program. Loved the support from the faculty members in every way. My university experience shaped me into the person I am today, and I am proud to carry the values and lessons I learned with me wherever I go. I am honored to have been a part of my university's community, and I look forward to carrying on its traditions and values as an alum."

On a personal level, my path to the University of Sharjah and graduation was filled with obstacles, but by the grace of God and the university's facilitations, those obstacles were overcome, which increased my firmness, determination, and dedication to achieve my life goal; to be an angel in white through Bachelor of Science in nursing studies at the University of Sharjah's College of Health Sciences, our second home that is inclusive of all scientific, recreational, cultural, and sports facilities that create an interactive and social educational experience that is integrated and unique, in addition to getting involved in a professional network full of friends and working professionals that includes doctors, nurses, and others in the related professional field. The esteemed professors spared no effort or time in order to teach us and develop our skills to meet and keep pace with the labor market, inspire us and enlighten our minds and thoughts, and sow wisdom and honor the profession in us. I am honored that my academic career emanates from this distinguished university.

My experience at the College of Health Sciences/ Department of Nursing at the University of Sharjah has been rewarding in many ways. I discovered my passion for nursing a bit later in my life as I have already graduated and got my degree in Business Administration in 2012, yet I was eager to discover the world of nursing even if it means I have to start my studies all over again. The staff and faculty at the University of Sharjah have been integral in my journey as they enabled me to self-actualize not only through their outstanding knowledge of the nursing field but also through their ability to understand and accommodate my needs as a mother of 4 children. This visionary approach toward their students helped me excel in my studies as well as in my personal life. Therefore, I will always be grateful and appreciative of the effect the department of nursing had on me in this beautiful and fulfilling stage of my life. Thank you!
