Nurses are great helpers to doctors and friends to patients. The Department of Nursing at ISU attracts students who want to become a professional nurse from both Taiwan and Hong Kong. However, it is much more challenging for students from Hong Kong to study nursing in Taiwan because they must pass the test held by the Nursing Council of Hong Kong in order to practice at local hospitals.
Students of the Department of Nursing are not qualified for taking internships at hospitals until they have passed the rigorous training at ISU.
