X. Enrollment intentions
Recent research focuses on life review interventions and the participation of families in nursing institutions, and welcomes students who are interested in the above topics. Students are encouraged to apply what they have learned, especially those who are currently or after graduation who are interested in engaging in elderly care services, social work research and practice.
Tips: Interest and direction are very important, but actions must also keep up, so students should not only talk about likes and ideals when emailing, it is recommended to inform me of the research and practical content you have completed before, and the specific research and practical plan in the future. Doing practice and doing research will be very popular!
