Professional Experience

5+ years nursing & aged care in Australia

At SMS Skills & Trades Institute, our mission is to deliver practical, ethical, and globally relevant education that empowers individuals to build sustainable careers. This mission is deeply personal to me.

With more than Five years of hands-on nursing and aged care experience in Australia, I have worked closely with diverse healthcare teams across multiple aged care facilities, supporting residents with dignity, compassion, and professionalism. My journey as a Nurse in Australia has allowed me to experience international healthcare standards firsthand, particularly in areas such as patient safety, infection control, documentation, teamwork, and person-centred care.

This real-world exposure has strongly shaped the academic philosophy at SMS Skills & Trades Institute. I firmly believe that quality education must be grounded in industry experience, not just classroom theory. That is why our programs especially Nursing Preparation at SMS – For Nurses, By Nurses are designed to reflect actual exam expectations, clinical realities, and professional discipline.

Our Nursing Preparation programs for NLEN (PCL Nursing License Examination) and MEC-CEE (BNS Entrance Examination) are structured to support aspiring nurses with exam-focused learning, computer-based mock tests, and expert guidance from experienced nursing professionals. We prepare students not only to pass exams, but to become confident and responsible healthcare professionals.

Beyond nursing preparation, SMS Skills & Trades Institute offers a diverse range of career-focused programs, developed to meet national and international workforce demands. Our key program areas include: • Nursing License & Entrance Exam Preparation • Aged Care & Caregiving Training Programs • Health & Support Services Training • Technical & Trade Skill Programs • Professional Skill Development & Workforce Readiness Programs

Each program is delivered with a strong emphasis on practical skills, compliance, employability, and ethical professionalism.

Having studied and worked across Nepal, Germany, and Australia, I understand the importance of global exposure, structured training, and continuous upskilling. At SMS, we strive to bridge the gap between education and employability, ensuring our students are prepared not only for exams, but for real careers.

I warmly invite students, parents, and professionals to explore our programs and become part of an institute that values experience-driven education, integrity, and long-term success.

At SMS Skills & Trades Institute, we do not just train students—we build professionals for the future.

Professional Experience

12+ years nursing in surgical & transplant units

Nursing is a profession built on knowledge, discipline, compassion, and responsibility. Having spent more than 12 years working in high-pressure clinical environments, including surgical and transplant units in leading teaching hospitals of Nepal, I understand that success in nursing examinations and professional practice requires far more than memorisation. It demands clarity of concepts, accuracy, ethical practice, and confidence under pressure.

At SMS Skills & Trades Institute, our Nursing Preparation Program has been carefully structured to reflect the real expectations of nursing examinations and clinical standards. The philosophy "For Nurses, By Nurses" is not just a statement, it is the foundation of our teaching approach. Every lesson, mock test, and feedback session is guided by nurses who have experienced the realities of patient care, infection control, medication safety, and teamwork in demanding healthcare settings.

Our preparation for NLEN (PCL Nursing License Examination) and MEC-CEE (BNS Entrance Examination) focuses on exam-oriented learning supported by daily computer-based mock tests, real exam-pattern practice, and detailed performance evaluation. This ensures students are not only academically prepared but also mentally confident to face the actual CBT examination environment.

As a nursing educator and clinician, I strongly believe that discipline, regular practice, and ethical professionalism are key to long-term success. At SMS, we guide students to develop strong fundamentals, effective time-management skills, and critical thinking abilities that are essential both for examinations and for future clinical practice.

I am proud to lead a dedicated nursing faculty team that is committed to professional integrity, compassionate teaching, and student success. Whether you are a first-time candidate, a repeat examinee, or a working nurse preparing for your next step, you will find structured guidance and genuine mentorship at SMS.

To all aspiring nurses, remember that nursing is not only a career, it is a commitment to care, safety, and lifelong learning. With the right guidance and consistent effort, success is within your reach.

We look forward to supporting you on your professional journey.
