Department of Nursing
Hello, I am Prof. Dr. Mevlüde Karadağ. I am the Vice Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences at Yuksek Ihtisas University and the Head of the Nursing Department. Our department is a 4-year undergraduate education department. Our department continues its education with a total of 12 lecturers, including 5 faculty members, 5 lecturers, and 2 research assistants. Our department aims to train nurses who can provide the necessary health care services in the development, protection and treatment of sick individuals and work with team awareness. In addition to the Nursing Department courses, basic medical courses such as anatomy and physiology, social sciences such as sociology and psychology are offered. Our laboratory practices are carried out with 2 basic skills laboratories, one within the medical faculty and one within the health sciences faculty, and a nursing skill laboratory and a high reality simulation laboratory. Our professional clinical practices are carried out in institutions including the private hospital we are affiliated with, hospitals affiliated to Ankara Provincial Health Directorate, public health centres, life health centres and various schools. Our students can benefit from abroad programmes within the scope of Erasmus Exchange Programs if they wish. Faculty members present their academic studies in various national and international platforms and carry out their academic studies. In this sense, in order to maintain continuous academic development, they participate in national and international congresses, symposiums, and present various papers. In addition, we are working to ensure the participation of our students in nursing student congresses or in national and international congresses organized in Ankara City Centre within the bounds of possibility.The nursing profession is the only profession with defined duties and responsibilities. Students who graduate from our department have the opportunity to work in various centres, including community health centres and hospitals. They can work as nurses in private or public institution hospitals affiliated to the Ministry of Health, and in educational institutions, whereas graduates who pursue an academic career, might have the opportunity to work as research assistants and lecturers in universities if they complete their master's and PhD. I advise our students who will choose this department to get to know themselves, know what they like and what they want to do. We, as the Department of Health Sciences Nursing of Yuksek Ihtisas University, offer our students who will choose us the best quality of service, equipping you with life-long career management skills. We, as faculty members of the Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Nursing, are waiting for our students who will prefer us to prepare them for their future academic and professional lives. Yuksek Ihtisas University is a city university located in the centre of Ankara. In addition to the location of our university, the location of our vocational school is also minutes away to many places with great transport links to the rest of the city. I think that being in the city centre of Ankara is a great advantage for students who will prefer university in the big city. We will be delighted to see the students who will prefer the Nursing Department of the Faculty of Health Sciences of Yuksek Ihtisas University among us. I wish success to everyone in advance.
