The Pengiran Anak Puteri Rashidah Sa'adatul Bolkiah Nursing College will have four new hostel blocks for its male and female student nurses. The hostels will begin operations in the month of August this year. Presently, 70 per cent of the hostel facilities are undergoing completion including book shops, information communication technology rooms, warden rooms and the dining hall.

The new building will comfortably accommodate up to 400 student nurses and will be convenient for its users. This initiative of restoring the nurses building, which is situated along the Pasar Gadong road, shows the government's concern about the importance of infrastructure and the quality of institutions of higher learning in the country.

Currently there are about 520 student nurses studying at the college which comprise male and female nurses. About 30 per cent of them are male students and the rest are female.

The present principal of the college is Dayang Hajah Suraya Noraidah bte Abdullah.
