There needs to be a clear description so that the level of achievement is also clear. It must have a characteristic, what is the difference with other campus nursing masters, so that it has a strong positioning,” said Prof. Setyabudi.
Furthermore, Prof. Setyabudi emphasized the importance of preparing tangible and intangible resources to support the opening of this new study program.
