Dongshin University, Online Special Lecture Inviting Senior Nurse from the US Draws Attention

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Department of Nursing at Dongshin University attracted attention by preparing a special non-face-to-face online lecture so that current students could hear about their seniors' overseas employment experiences amid the suspension of most face-to-face classes on campus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to Dongshin University on the 23rd, the Department of Nursing and the University Job Center held an invited lecture on the theme of "Overseas Employment Trends and Employment of Nurses in the United States" using the online video conferencing platform ZOOM the day before.

The lecturer was Ji-eun Kim (30, female), who is currently working as a nurse at NYP Columbia University Hospital in New York, USA, and about 50 current students and graduates participated in the online special lecture.

Kim, who graduated from Dongshin University's Department of Nursing in February 2013, worked in the pediatric department at Asan Medical Center for six years starting in March of that year, and was employed at NYP Columbia University Hospital in September last year.

NYP Columbia University Hospital is one of the top hospitals in the United States, ranking 5th overall in the U.S. in 2020 and 1st in New York according to annual hospital rankings.

She calmly explained to her juniors the process and methods she used to prepare for becoming a nurse in the U.S., the employment conditions and benefits for nurses in the U.S., and the differences between nurses in the U.S. and Korea.

She also emphasized actively participating in various extracurricular programs, training sessions, and briefings offered by the university.

Heeyoung Kim, head of the Department of Nursing, said, "In a situation where face-to-face classes are limited, we prepared an online special lecture so that our students could concretely set their goals and focus on their studies by listening to the experiences of successful seniors," adding, "We will continue to prepare various programs for students."
