My experience at HKU SPACE CC equipped me with professional nursing knowledge and clinical skills. The exposure of different subjects such as human anatomy and physiology, health promotion and clinical nursing skills and nursing practicum provided me with an all-rounded nursing education. HKU SPACE CC also offered lots of resources such as career planning, academic advising and counseling services. The supportive learning environment enabled me to complete my programme more easily. I am really grateful for the chance to articulate to university through studying at HKU SPACE CC.

Studying at HKU SPACE CC was definitely a remarkable experience. HKU SPACE CC provided a nourishing environment for me to proceed with my goal. The curriculum was well-organized, and it provided me with great insights into the nursing field. The nursing practicum gave me a chance to apply the skills and knowledge learned from the lectures. I remember that I did wound care for a patient, although it was not a complicated procedure, their thankfulness was my great reward. Apart from academics, I met some friends who shared the same goal. They were encouraging and we worked hard together to achieve a good grade. We used to study in the common room until it closed. All in all, I didn’t regret studying ANS in HKU SPACE CC. Even though it was not always easy, the hard work paid off in the end.

During the two-year studies I got chances to learn various professional nursing knowledge and clinical nursing skills, human anatomy and physiology, health promotion. I could also understand the pathophysiology and etiology of various diseases. Through group projects like nursing care plans, I became familiar with the different nursing diagnoses and corresponding nursing management. Moreover, participating in Nursing Practicum strengthened my nursing practical skills and became familiar with the hospital and nursing home settings. When I faced some obstacles in my learning, lecturers were willing to give me guidance and resolve my concerns. I sincerely thank them for helping me to progress to the university.

I was desperately hoping for changes, seeking a place where I could discover my strengths and unleash my potential after experiencing a setback in my life - the HKDSE. Luckily, studying at HKU SPACE CC enabled me to pick myself up from where I fell. The programme equipped me with the skills required for becoming a better learner, and the guidance from lecturers showed me to the right path.

I obtained 20 marks in DSE, which was not enough for me to get an offer of my favorite subject. Fortunately, HKU SPACE CC offered me a second chance to achieve this goal. During the 2 years at CC, I equipped myself with professional knowledge and skills that a nurse required. HKU SPACE CC also provided a lot of resources and facilities like the nursing laboratory, which aided my learning. Furthermore, the teachers were supportive, and I also got to make some good, like-minded friends! Although the life of studying ANS was not an easy one, I am grateful for having this memorable journey. 

The ANS programme has been a stepping stone for me to achieve higher and get closer to my destination - to be a university student.

The experience at HKU SPACE CC was fruitful and rewarding. The programme comprises me different courses such as Nursing Foundation, Health Promotion, and Languages, which equipped me with nursing knowledge and skills. Besides, my communication and problem-solving skills were also enhanced through working on projects with my fellow classmates. Facing various kinds of challenges was unavoidable during the two years’ study. However, the lecturers were extremely caring and helpful. They gave me a helping hand such as offering mental support and professional suggestions when I was under stress and had obstacles in my studies. 

I was blessed to have completed my practicum during this hard time (Covid-19). It was a unique and golden learning opportunity for me to shadow the nurses in an Elderly Home when the epidemic was alleviated. It provided me a chance to put the theories that I learned in lessons into practice like nursing assessments, vital signs measurements, and insulin injections. I also learned more about the management and measures that were adopted during this period so as to prevent the outbreak of Covid-19 in the healthcare setting.

To conclude, HKU SPACE CC has nurtured me to become a well-rounded person, and has equipped me with the knowledge, skills, and strength to become a competent healthcare professional in the future - one who will help the patients to achieve their optimal health. 

With 19 marks obtained in HKDSE, I studied in Associate of Nursing Studies in HKU SPACE CC. I wanted to be a truly competent person before admitting to the university. During the 2-year journey, I explored part of the nursing world and understood more about my strengths, weaknesses, as well as personality. I realised that I was more interested in Occupational Therapy, which I chose to study finally. Studying in HKU SPACE CC gave me a second chance to explore my career path and myself, so that I could choose a more suitable path.

I had learned a lot in HKU SPACE CC. There were lab sessions for us to practise nursing skills based on what we had learned in the lectures. I was most impressed by the comprehensive assessment, measuring vital signs and wound dressing, etc. The lecturers always interacted and shared their experience with us. They always provided extra resources to me.
​
The programme also provided students with practicum opportunity, which took place in community settings, nursing care homes and rehabilitation units. I could apply the skills and knowledge that I had learnt. Patients also interacted with me so that I could understand more about patients’ need and how to provide nursing care interventions. I also had the opportunities to observe treatments and nursing care interventions for the patients which was not able to learn in class. It enriched my learning experience as well.

Studying the Associate of Health Science – Nursing Studies in HKU SPACE CC was definitely a rewarding and delightful experience for me. The lecturers were very approachable, knowledgeable and caring. They encouraged me to participate in this life-long nursing journey.

Courses offered in this programme provided fundamental nursing knowledge and skills training for me to get wellprepared for further nursing studies. HKU SPACE CC provided different kinds of facilities and equipment for us to perform skills practices in order to let us familiarize with the ward setting and get used to the equipment. Besides, I have met a group of good friends as my study partners. We paid so much effort and tried our best to strike for better academic results.

The nursing programme in HKU SPACE CC also offered a lot of opportunities to put our acquired skills and knowledge into practices. I had a chance to experience the daily routines and work in real-life setting as a nurse during my practicum.
​
Overall, the two-year studies in HKU SPACE CC has equipped me with deep knowledge and broad nursing skills which allowed me to continue my new nursing journey in HKU and get one step closer to my future career.

I only got 21 marks for the best five subjects in 2016 DSE. Though I received an offer from HKBU BBA, my dream is being a nurse. I knew 21 marks was not enough for me to get admitted to any UGC-funded bachelor’s degrees in nursing. Therefore, I chose to decline HKBU’s offer and study in HKU SPACE CC.

Everything happened just like yesterday, the two years in the college was worthwhile. The courses in nursing studies enable me to acquire the core elements of nursing theories such as critical reasoning, evidence-based practice and holistic care. They are intense since we were learning not only knowledge but also lots of nursing skills to become a humanistic, passionate and decent student preparing for the voyage in the university’s nursing programme and career in nursing.

This programme provides a good articulation route to chase my dream in nursing. Lecturers are professional, caring and friendly. It equips me with the fundamental nursing skills and knowledge. HKU SPACE Community College is a good choice to strive the best for a place in university. I had the chance to experience the clinical routine of a nurse and practice nursing skills on the real patients while having clinical placement in different settings like community setting, elderly home and sub-acute hospital ward. Through the placement, I’ve learnt more about the roles and responsibilities of a nurse. The experience laid a good foundation to my nursing academic and career path.

HKU SPACE CC gave me an opportunity to achieve my university dream. I am grateful that I can be one of the members in HKU SPACE CC & HKU. In the two years of study there, the programme gave me a lot of chances to develop my strengths, build up knowledge, clinical skills and enhance my passion in nursing. Although the workload in all of the courses and practicum are quite enormous, the lecturers there are very supportive, and they gave a lot of advices to me about how to overcome those workloads. I really feel delighted that I can meet them in HKU SPACE CC as they made my road become easier. I hope I can keep my passion up in my future study. Good luck!

2 years in AHS programme was not a cakewalk for me, but it was worth it. All the courses, practicum were very intense as it provided various opportunities to equip students to step in nursing field. Nursing is not only about practicing skills, but also requiring your evidence based, professional knowledge. Apart from the theories and human physiology, practicum in different health care settings was also provided to every student. This valuable experience inspired and motivated us to be more proactive in learning and caring. Challenges, difficulties and frustrations are unavoidable, but it is blessed to have many supportive companions and lecturers along these 2 years. The new journey in HKU has started, I am still grateful to have this precious memory in AHS.

Two years studied in HKU SPACE CC, from the start of college’s life to the acquisition of bachelor’s degree offer, what I took away is not only an offer in HKU or knowledge, but also the knowledge and attitude in being a nursing student and the relationship between my classmates, lecturers and tutors which help me to being a better me. Nursing study in CC is never an easy job, assessment, skill test, practicum, a large amount of information and knowledge need to remember. However, even the high workload or stress to us, it never diminish my enthusiasm in being a nurse and continue my study. It may due to the support and encourage giving by our lecturers. They taught us with their knowledge and experience patiently even we were doing wrongly, practiced the skills and went to the practicum with us. Before I had received the offer, I always felt scared and worried about my future. In that time, I always felt sad but my lecturers had given many support to me and tell me be confidence and never give up. They were finding a lot of methods to help us continue our studies in the university. Apart from the lecturers, in CC I found many comrades and friends that we are sustaining each other. We are fighting together towards the same target even now we study in HKU, the relationship between us is never a false appearance. We are relying on each other regardless happy or sad. Finally, we are studying HKU nursing degree together to continue our study. In CC, it is not just obtained an offer and then finished. We received the knowledge and skills from the class lecture and lab session. We learned what is empathy and other attitude of nurse through the practicum and lecturers. Our lecturers and tutors just like our friends that give us many support and advice. The friendship that I had in here is never end till now. What we gained in CC have enriched my life, and make me having more confidence in facing the new life in HKU and every trouble in the future to being a better me. Nothing is impossible, like getting an offer in the university, but it really needs to work hard.
