Nursing school ready to export

SURABAYA: The Darul Ulum School of Nursing in Jombang, which in the past has supplied nurses to Middle East countries, is preparing to export its graduates to hospitals in the United States.

Chair of the Darul Ulum Moslem foundation, K.H. As'ad Umar, told Antara that the school has produced 40 nurses, 13 of whom are now working in the Middle East. The school is currently training 240 students.

"We dare to send our graduates abroad because we train them to speak English and Arabic well," Umar said. "It is indeed our goal to produce nurses to be exported."

Umar also said the foundation would soon establish an Islamic hospital. (swe)
