Congratulations to IUBAT BScN graduate

 Rubel Hossain, lecturer at IUBAT College of Nursing, writes: Tamanna Akter grew up in a rural village in south-eastern Bangladesh. After completing high school, she followed her dream to our College of Nursing to pursue a BSc in Nursing (BSN). She comments on this experience:

"IUBAT supported both my academic and professional growth. The medium of instruction, English, helped me a lot and the nursing curriculum improved my critical thinking skills. I am thankful to Professor Dr. M. Alimullah Miyan, who encouraged me to build my career globally, to the IUBAT nursing faculty and also Dr. Karen Lund and our visiting faculty for motivating me to improve my knowledge, skills, and confidence."

Tamanna completed her BScN in December 2019 and went on to complete a master’s in public health from Daffodil International University. She worked as a lecturer at Universal Nursing College and STS Nursing College. Recently, Tamanna achieved a major milestone by passing the NCLEX-RN Exam and becoming licensed with the New York State Board of Nursing.

Reflecting on her journey, Tamanna shared: "Preparing for the NCLEX while taking care of my two babies and managing family life was very challenging. I thank Almighty Allah for keeping my hope alive. I believed I could succeed, and was fortunate to have my husband’s support, taking care of our children while I studied." IUBAT College of Nursing is so proud of Tamanna Akter’s achievement. Her professional journey to nurse registration in USA is an inspiration to all our students!
