thoroughly communicate messages to the public, students were divided into small groups. As students interacted with them, they also provided positive, even outstanding feedback to us and pledged to keep the preventive measures they had given us in mind.
More of these educational sessions that also improve the lives of our cherished surrenders should be organized to benefit students’ learning. .

To foster a collegiate environment with multidisciplinary interactions among the faculty members at North Nazimabad and Link Road, a workshop was organized entitled “CHALLENGES OF TEACHING GEN-Z STUDENTS: MULTIDISCIPLINARY PERSPECTIVE” facilitated by Dr. Sumaira K. Punjwani, Associate Professor at Ziauddin University Faculty of Nursing & Midwifery on Saturday, November 19, 2022, at 11:30 am.

This workshop is designed for university faculty members to be better able to equip them with the knowledge and practical strategies to teach Gen-Z students. In this workshop, the participants will identify the challenges that are encountered during teaching Gen-Z students and will focus on providing solutions.

This session allowed all varied generations of Faculty members sitting in the workshop serving Ziauddin University to rethink their teaching and learning practices. It was a significant addition and eye-opening to all the Faculty members to consider how to make engaging teaching and learning classrooms for students. The crux of the session was to understand the learner “Gen-Z,” who is a digital native and self-directed. These learners are quick to explore and use technology efficiently and promptly, so the strong message from the Vice Chancellor was to maximize the use of learning technologies in planning the lessons. Moreover, give challenges and embeds creative questions in the lessons for the learners and makes them critical thinkers and confident decision-makers. Utilize interesting, fun, and engaging teaching-learning strategies that would expose them to problem-solving skills, research, exploring, and connecting with peers and communities at large. It was worth attending the workshop and giving all the Faculty members a way forward to take teaching business seriously in higher education.

The primary purpose of ART is to give young researchers a platform and a place to showcase their research endeavors at all academic levels, from undergraduate to doctoral programs.

The ART program is very flexible and incorporates a variety of recent research findings that are presented to students by famous scholars, with a focus on the most prevalent health problems in our area and effective local remedies, such as preventions or measures.

Communities are struggling with a large number of people across the lifespan, who receive minimal or no health care because they cannot afford or access services. Moreover, public concerns regarding quality, cost, access, and fragmentation of health care have contributed to a shift in care from the more traditional acute care settings to the community. This has led to changes in nursing practice.

Nurses have always cared for individuals, families, and communities in their practice. Recently, there has been an increase in the number of nurses working outside the hospital, primarily in community-based settings that focus on individuals and families. There is also increasing emphasis on community-focused nursing care with the community as the client.

Ziauddin University Faculty of Nursing & Midwifery plays a remarkable performance while visiting different communities and creating awareness among them. Community Health Nursing (CHN), being a part of the nursing curriculum focuses and motivates the students to take part in it. As a ritual, this year too BSN students visited various communities mainly Dar-ul-Sukun, Ibtida, Aga Khan Health Service Pakistan (AKHSP), Public Health School ( PHS), Lady Dufferin Hospital, Rahnuma Family Planning Association of Pakistan (R-FPAP), and Community Water Filter Plant in Karachi to recognize the needs of the community.

For BSN I and III student’s respective teams leads different sessions on vaccinations, water filtration, drug abuse, special child, family planning.

The purpose of community visits is not only to create awareness and identify the needs of the people who are unaware of it but also to allow students to deal with real health problems in natural settings that result in the enhancement of professional skills, communication skills, self-confidence, knowledge and awareness, and critical thinking skills and teamwork skills in undergraduate nursing students.
