Nurses are an important aspect of
hospital health care. As such, Adventist College of Nursing & Health
Sciences (ACNHS) was established in the late 90s by
Penang Adventist
Hospital to train quality nurses who will never hesitate to go beyond
their duties. To date, the college has produced over hundreds of nurses who
serve the hospital and community diligently. Some have also gone abroad in
search of greener pastures. Upon approval by the governmental authorities in
October 1992, Penang Adventist Hospital established the Adventist College of
Nursing and commenced offering a Three-year Diploma Nursing program in
September 1993.
|
In September 1994, offered the
15-month conversion program to convert the existing nursing aides to
assistant nurses. A total of 3 batches of assistant nurses were trained.
Thereafter the conversion program was stopped and replaced by the 24-month
Assistant Nurse Certificate Course which started in January 1998.
Since its inception, the college has been committed to educating
knowledgeable, competent, and compassionate nursing professionals for more
than a decade. There are more than 600 alumni employed in a variety of
health care positions throughout the country as well as abroad. With the
educational programs, a long-standing tradition of providing quality health
care education in a hospital setting continues.
The college has been renamed the Adventist College of Nursing and Health
Sciences (ACNHS) from January 1, 2011. The ACNHS is proud of its excellent
reputation for preparing graduates to pass national licensure examinations
and to practice as registered nursing professionals.
