Roles

I started working at the Faculty of Nursing in 2011. Initially, I began as a Lecturer handling varied professional courses like Cardiovascular, Neurological, Critical care nursing, etc. Working in an entirely different culture and Arabic language from what I was trained and used to was very challenging. As a Lecturer, Clinical instructor and Program Coordinator, I embraced the challenges, I learned more about our students, a little about the language, welcomed the differences and dealt with obstacles along the way, and it helped a lot in making my work satisfying and rewarding. I love the people I work with and more so, our students. We are a closely knit family of friends, colleagues and workers. As Program Coordinator for several years now, I have seen through the Faculty of Nursing producing several hundreds of BSN graduates. They are now working in different hospitals and clinics and occupying key positions. It gives me a lot of personal and professional satisfaction and gratification knowing that our graduates are successful in their nursing career and that we made a difference.

Research Interests

I am interested in studies regarding pedagogical techniques affecting nursing education. Technology in healthcare is advancing in a pace that nursing education lags behind. With various factors affecting the Faculty of Nursing and the country, the challenge is how to provide nursing education with the use of technology and other teaching methods without sacrificing quality. Evaluating the success of these pedagogical techniques is also a rich area of study.
