Welcome to our Web Page

Our vision is to be the leading nursing entrepreneur in Malaysia. Thus the birth of this registered nursing company: NURSING PROFESSIONAL GROUP Sdn. Bhd. by a group of nurses. We want to encourage a new generation of nurses: entrepreneurial nurses. An entrepreneur is described as: 'one who organizes, promotes and manages risks for an activity' (Merriam, 2003). Entrepreneurs always look and create something new, something different. In this sense, nursing entrepreneurship cannot refer to nurses who simply continue to provide the same services (a ritual?) year in and year out. Thus our first objective: to update nurses with current knowledge and skills.

Entrepreneurship comes naturally to nurses because every day they assess, manage and make decisions about the risks to someone's wellbeing. They organize health care, promote patient realizations of optimum levels of wellness. Being an entrepreneur means nurses take the initiative, creating and implementing new ideas on every occasion, at every time, always recognizing that this client is different from the last client and needs something new, something different that will ensure quality and safe care. These are the characteristics similar to that of entrepreneurs. Therefore through knowledge and experiences, nurses do make the best, reliable and successful entrepreneurs. Thus our second objectives: to prepare nurses for their future challenging roles.

Mericle (2004) claims that an entrepreneur is 'the person who organises, operates and assumes the risk for business adventure'. Thus, NPG as a business adventure focuses its’ main social responsibilities to the nurses, therefore our motto: From Nurses, For Nurses. We call upon nurses not only to be the frequent receiver of our programs but also to be the frequent and active provider in these programs. Share your expertise: the recent knowledge, updated skills with evident base resources for your very own community; NURSES.

We need to fundamentally transform and enhance the learning culture among nurses to that of a lifelong learning culture. Thus, our third objectives: to recognize and expose the nursing experts in enhancing the nurses’ developments in cognitive, psycho motor and affective domains.

If nurses are to uphold the image of being the heart, brain and backbone of the health services, we need these knowledgeable, skillful, proactive and professional nurses (nurse practitioners, nurse managers, nurse educators and nurse researchers) who are not only responsible, accountable but also close to any health organization’s important clients, our clients.

Join us.We care.

Thank you.
