Dear Student
Welcome to the School of Health Sciences, and congratulations on your successful
admission to the Advanced Diploma in Nursing - Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) course.
You have demonstrated a desire to keep abreast with the changing trends in nursing and
your realization of assuming the specialist roles in ENT nursing can only be achievedthrough a commitment to continuing education.
The course is structured to promote unity of theory and practice with clinical rotations
built into the course to broaden your experiential base and provide opportunities for you
to develop the essential diagnostic and decision-making skills. This will enable you to
practise with innovations analytically in a variety of health care settings on graduation.
It is assumed that as adult learner capable of self-directed learning, you will optimize all
available opportunities available to you throughout the course.
This manual presents you with useful and specific information regarding the courseincluding the objectives and assessment requirements. It serves as an excellent reference
and guide to your study throughout the year. If you have any problems or concerns
relating to your study, please see the course coordinator, Ms Aishah Latiff, or me as
early as possible.
I wish you every success and trust that you will find the course challenging, enriching
and rewarding.
Ms Wong Luan Wah, Director/School of Health Sciences (Nursing), and all staff in the
