UNAIR NEWS – We often hear  an expression “Position determines achievements”. That expression was implemented by Alfiatis Su’diyah, S.Kep., during her study in Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR). The front row was her favorite spot in the class. The girl from Pamekasan believed that it was the best spot to listen to lectures and she could concentrate more and since the first semester she has never moved from the front row seat.

“If I sat in the middle or back row seat, my friends would talk to me and sometimes it was not related to the class so to focus, I sit at the front row,” said Alfiatis, the best graduate of  Faculty of Nursing (FKp) bachelor program in September 2016 graduation. She got GPA 3.66 and she was glad and grateful for it.

“Tips to be the best graduates, was good intention, always pray, parents supports, study diligently and always polite and clean also never skip classes,” said Alfiatis.

She said that her name was once crossed out from the attendance list as she was caught trying to skip class and asking her friend to fill her attendance. From that moment she regretted and had enough of it. She did not repeat her mistake.

Regarding her research, Alfiatis discussed “The Correlation of Housework Implementation in Treatment with Motivation and Discipline on Medication of Tuberculosis Patient in Puskesmas Palengaan Pamekasan”. She elaborated TB cases in Pamekasan as there were quite many and the treatment was prioritized.

After graduation, she hoped that she will get scholarship to study further in master degree to achieve her dream as professional nurse. (*)
