I really enjoy studying at Xamk and not just because I’ve made friends with a great group of international students on my journey. The nursing teachers really support our journey. The staff are patient and answer all our questions. We’ve had extra support sessions outside of the timetable if we want to practice procedures that need staff supervision.
We are lucky to have a new campus. The mini hospital and facilities are brilliant. Our practical sessions are very hands on and we are able to practice exactly as we would in real life.
The teachers really take their time to ensure we are learning to be excellent, competent nurses.
We are learning Finnish and nursing Finnish at the same time. I’m sure our Finnish teacher actually wears a cape under her normal clothes. She supports us and works so hard for us to succeed in our studies and future careers.
I’ve been incredibly happy with my studies. While it will be sad to move on, I know I’ll be a great nurse thanks to the staff that taught me my skills.
