The Beginning of a Journey
My journey began with a dream—to advance my education and significantly impact nursing education in Zambia. As a healthcare professional, I witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by our healthcare system. These challenges, often worsened by limited resources and differing priorities from authorities, show the urgent need for highly skilled and knowledgeable healthcare professionals.
Choosing TAU-UCN
Selecting the right institution for my doctoral studies was crucial. I needed a program that offered flexibility, especially given my responsibilities as a nurse educator and entrepreneur. TAU-UCN stood out for its commitment to providing quality education tailored to the needs of busy professionals. The program’s structure allowed me to balance my work and studies effectively, ensuring neither was compromised.
Overcoming Challenges
Pursuing a PhD is never easy, and doing so in a resource-constrained environment presents unique challenges. Limited access to research materials, financial constraints, and balancing professional and academic responsibilities were significant hurdles. However, the support from Texila American University was instrumental. The university’s online resources, accessible faculty, and community of fellow students provided an invaluable network of support.

Education is a powerful tool for change, especially in regions like Southern Africa. With my PhD in Nursing, I am equipped to contribute meaningfully to the field of nursing education. My doctoral studies have not only deepened my knowledge but also honed my skills in research, leadership, and advanced nursing practices. This knowledge is crucial for developing curricula that address the specific healthcare needs of our communities.
