By the time we reach the final year in the university, all we know and are accustomed to are the schedules and the predictable academic cycles. But on this final step, the air feels different, thicker with expectations and uncertainty. At this stage, finalists find themselves less in conversations about assignments and CATS and more often in job application conversations. Weekend plans are gradually replaced with hustles for internships and networking sessions. This feeling is not only academic but also personal, as it is obvious that the final semester on campus marks a crucial turning point in one's life, and these feelings are certainly more normal than they appear. This article explores some tips to help finalists navigate their final stretch with focus and optimism. 

Acknowledge that the uncertainty is normal

The feeling of uncertainty about what comes next is normal, and almost every graduating student experiences it. Recognising and accepting this feeling doesn't mean you're unprepared, but it simply means you care about what will happen next. So, embrace the uncertainty with positivity and confidence. 

Future plans 

It is very easy and common to get caught up in the thought of what comes after the final paper. This uncertainty can make you feel overwhelmed by the thought that you should have your whole life mapped out before graduation. But here is an important reminder: Future plans are for the future. And now in the present, your most urgent and important business is finishing strong academically in this final stretch. This means focusing on attending those classes, doing Finish assignments, giving your best in the CATS, working on your project, and also, this is a good time to work on that thesis you have been meaning to do for so long. Investing your energy in what you can control now will set a strong foundation for whatever comes next. 

Start exploring career options

While, as discussed above, focusing on the present is the prudent way of tackling this phase, waiting until graduation to take your next steps can, at times, increase your anxiety. Taking small steps in getting career clarity can ease some of this pressure. Here are some of the smart, simple ways to start on this journey. 

  1. Polish your CV or start writing one. Now is the best time to take a moment and reflect on your CV and update it with your recent academic projects, leadership roles, or internships. And if you don’t have a CV yet, it is never too late to write one; having a good CV will prove useful in your near future when opportunities arise.
  2. Browse job portals and the company's website. Even if you are not yet ready to apply for the jobs, gaining knowledge on the job market will help you be better prepared mentally and even academically on the qualifications, skills, and experiences that employers are currently seeking.
  1. Polish your online presence—an updated professional online profile increases your visibility and opens more networking opportunities. Creating an online portfolio and a LinkedIn account can be a great way to start this. 
  1. Visiting your school's career office—At this stage, you might need a professional take on your career path, and the best place to start is your campus academic office. This puts you in a position to get free reviews on your CV, mock interviews, and even exclusive job listings. 

While options are many, remember that at this stage, the goal is not to make a final decision about your career but to stay informed, build awareness, and reduce the fear of uncertainty. 

Taking a moment to smell the roses

The combination of the final exams, uncertainty of the next step to take, job and internship applications, and planning your future can all take a toll on your mental health. Setting aside time for rest is not a luxury; it is a necessity. Regular breaks and proper sleep will help you recharge and help you both mentally and physically. But beyond rest, take time to savor the moment; chances are, a moment might be the last time you're sitting with your friends in the campus cafeteria for coffee or walking down those familiar hallways. These small moments are part of your university story; acknowledge them and allow yourself to be present. Also, connecting with friends, exercising, and talking to your school counselor about your academics and mental health can help ease the tension. 

In these final moments, balancing productivity with presence will help you go through this final stretch both mentally strong and emotionally fulfilled.  

In conclusion, yes, there might not be a next semester, but it marks not the end but a pivotal transition to the next important chapter in your life. By embracing the normal uncertainty feeling, focusing on finishing strong in your academics, proactively exploring career avenues, and crucially maintaining your well being you ready yourself to navigate the next phase. 

Picture this: It’s 7:59 a.m. You’ve got a lecture at 8:00. Tight spot to be in, right?

If you’re studying online at Zetech Digital School, all you need is a laptop, a cup of tea, and maybe the courage to turn on your camera.

If you’re an in-person student, you’re probably stuck in traffic, clutching a notebook, and hoping the lecturer hasn’t started yet.

So, which learning style is better? Let’s talk about it.

The Case for Online Learning

Online learning is like Netflix: available on demand, whenever you want. Flexibility is the big win here.

You can rewind the lecture, pause for snacks, or learn in your pajamas (though we don’t recommend pajamas for exams). It works brilliantly for students balancing jobs, families, or other commitments.

But let’s be honest, online learning demands self-discipline. No lecturer hovering over your shoulder. No classmates nudging you to stay awake. It’s just you, the Wi‑Fi, and your willpower.

The Case for In-Person Learning

In-person classes? They’re like going to the cinema. Same movie, different vibe. The energy of sitting in a room full of curious minds, asking the lecturer questions in real time, and laughing at that one friend who always arrives late, you can’t replicate that online.

Face-to-face learning also brings networking, hands-on experience, and the legendary “campus life.” Clubs, sports, group projects, random debates under a tree; it’s a package deal that shapes more than your grades.

But let’s not sugarcoat it: commuting can be hectic, and sometimes that 8 a.m. class feels like a cruel joke.

So, Which Is Best?

Here’s the twist: it’s not about which is better, but which is better for you.

If you thrive on flexibility and independence, online learning is your stage. If you crave human interaction, structure, and the vibrant buzz of campus life, in-person learning will feel like home.

The Zetech Advantage

At Zetech University, we don’t believe students should be forced to choose one extreme. Why not both? We’ve invested in a dynamic e-learning platform for flexibility and convenience, while also offering a vibrant, hands-on campus experience.

Through Zetech Digital School, your online portal is robust and recorded. It integrates with the KENET Web Conferencing platform for live, interactive online sessions that tie into Zetech’s LMS.

On campus, you get to enjoy structured programs, extracurriculars, labs, clubs, and real-world interactions.

It’s like having your cake and eating it too (without fighting over the last slice).

Final Thought

So, are you team Netflix & Learn or team Cinema Experience? Either way, Zetech is here to give you the best of both worlds.

Explore our programs today and find the learning style that works for you. The September 2025 Intake is open. Apply today.

 

Why does getting university education in Kenya feel like preparing for a financial marathon?

How do you choose a university that won’t just hand you a degree but leave your family drowning in debt either?

These are the questions on every parent’s and student’s mind as the cost of higher education continues to rise across the country. And rightly so, because education shouldn’t be a luxury, and opportunity shouldn’t come with a lifetime of financial strain.

But here’s the good news: there is a better way. And Zetech University is leading the charge.

What Does “Affordability” Really Mean?

In simple terms, affordability means access.

It’s not just about low tuition, it’s about whether the average student or family can realistically pay for a full education without sacrificing quality or missing out on opportunities.

Being affordable means more than just a number on a fee structure. It means:

  • Transparent and flexible fee payment
  • Minimal hidden charges
  • Access to funding like HELB and scholarships
  • Study options that save time and money
  • High return on investment (ROI) in the job market

Zetech University embodies all these elements, making it one of the most affordable private universities in Kenya today.

Whether you're a KCSE graduate exploring your next steps or a parent comparing university options, Zetech University offers the perfect blend of cost-effectiveness and career-focused education.

Backed by experienced faculty, modern technology, and a wide range of diploma and degree courses, it’s no surprise that more students are turning to Zetech University as their first choice.

5 Reasons Zetech University Leads on Affordability

  1. Payment in Flexible Instalments

Let’s be honest; paying full semester fees upfront can be tough. That’s why Zetech University allows students to spread their tuition across the semester:

40% at registration, 40% by the second month, and the remaining 20% by month three.

All payments can be made conveniently via MPESA or bank deposit, easing the financial pressure on students and families.

  1. Flexible Study Modes & Commuter-Friendly Campuses

Zetech University understands that students have different schedules, needs, and responsibilities. That’s why it offers multiple learning modes:

  • Daytime, evening, weekend, or fully online classes
  • Four campuses: Technology Park Mang’u Campus, Ruiru Campus, Nairobi City Campus, and Zetech Digital School

Less commute = lower transport costs = more time to focus on what matters.

  1. Career-Ready Training with Real Earning Potential

With the ZePreneurs programme, the university empowers students to turn ideas into businesses even before graduation.

Whether you’re launching a start-up or freelancing in your field, the university gives you the tools, mentorship, and networks to earn while you learn.

  1. HELB Loans & Scholarships

Zetech University bachelor's degree students can access HELB loans, and the university works closely with corporate partners to provide scholarships for various students who prove adept in various extracurricular activities.

For those who qualify, this support makes an already affordable education even more accessible.

  1. High Return on Investment (ROI)

An affordable education is only truly valuable if it leads to real opportunities. The University's market-driven courses, digital innovation, and hands-on experience mean graduates are job-ready or business-ready, often ahead of their peers.

 

Ready to Invest in Your Future—the Smart Way?

University education doesn’t have to cost you peace of mind. At Zetech University, affordability meets excellence, ensuring every student gets access to world-class education, cutting-edge resources, and a future filled with possibilities.

Apply now for the September 2025 intake and discover just how far your KCSE results and your budget can take you.

Introduction

Ethical decision-making significantly plays a vital role in healthcare, solving various medical cases and other health problems. The renowned rules under the medical ethics program guide healthcare professionals, helping them understand the different complex instances where the stakes are high and choices are nearly impossible. In this article, we will carefully examine the role of medical ethics in directing decision-making, cross-examine the values that support and take into account ethical decisions, and also get insight into how these values are used in various medical situations.

Ethical Principles in Medical Decision-Making Autonomy

The autonomy principle strongly emphasises the value of honoring patients' right to make healthcare decisions on their own. Healthcare providers need to ensure that patients in complex medical cases are thoroughly informed about their disease, alternatives to therapy, and their possible hazards and benefits. Healthcare providers encourage people to actively participate in their treatment and make decisions consistent with their values and goals by respecting patients' autonomy.

Healthcare professionals strive to guarantee that patients have the knowledge required to make informed choices about their own care by putting patient autonomy first. Patients are empowered by this respect for autonomy, which also recognizes their particular values, beliefs, and objectives. It fosters trust and improves the general standard of healthcare delivery by encouraging honest discourse, collaboration in decision-making, and collaborative relationships between healthcare practitioners and patients. 

Beneficence

The long-term goal of this is to ensure patients' health and benefits are in perfect condition. This principle needs medical personnel to assess the possible good results and make decisions that are at par and meet the most significant interests of their patients in complicated medical issues. They must consider the risks and advantages of various therapies and interventions, considering the patient's mental, emotional, and social requirements and physical health.

Healthcare practitioners look for solutions that maximise benefits and limit potential harm in an effort to deliver the best possible care. In order to choose the plan of action that will result in the patient receiving the greatest overall benefit, this principle may call for carefully weighing risks and rewards, taking into account other treatment alternatives, and weighing prospective outcomes.

Non-Maleficence

Not harm is a common adage used to sum up the non-maleficence principle in medical ethics. In complex medical situations, healthcare professionals must carefully assess various operations' possible risks and adverse consequences. While concurrently attempting to improve the patient's well-being, they must take care to avoid unnecessarily hurting the patient. This method requires assessing a treatment's potential benefits against any potential harm it may do, considering both short-term and long-term impacts.

Healthcare professionals have a duty to reduce risks and thoroughly assess any possible repercussions of their choices and procedures. This idea protects patients from unwarranted damage and guarantees that decisions are always made with their best interests in mind.

Justice

The equitable and impartial allocation of assets across the healthcare system is a concern of the justice principle. Healthcare practitioners must consider how supplies, including healthcare facilities, equipment, and therapies, should be distributed in complex medical cases. Healthcare practitioners are required by the idea of justice to make just, impartial, and fair judgments while also considering the broader interests of the community and medical necessity. Additionally, it encourages professionals to think about and work to eliminate health inequities.

In order to ensure the equitable allocation of the few health assets and access to care, justice is essential to medical ethics. When allocating resources, healthcare practitioners must balance the demands of particular patients with the more general needs of the general population. In order to uphold justice, choices about the distribution of resources, the choice of treatments, and the availability of healthcare services must take into account elements like medical need, equity, and fairness. Application in Challenging Medical Cases and Dilemmas

Complex ethical problems can arise in difficult medical conditions, necessitating critical thought and the application of moral norms. The use of reproductive technologies, resource allocation, and end-of-life care are among the areas where medical ethics plays a crucial role in decision-making.

End-of-life Care

Healthcare personnel struggle with difficult choices regarding discontinuing and prolonging life-sustaining treatments when dealing with terminally ill patients. As clinicians consider customers' wishes, their way of living, and potential advantages or burdens connected with continuing treatment, the concepts of independence and beneficial effects come into play. In addition, the non-maleficence principle compels professionals to spare patients from needless pain and suffering and provide them with the best palliative care possible.

Reproductive Technologies

Reproductive technologies present ethical problems, such as choices on genetic testing, fertility treatments, and contraception. In this case, the autonomy principle is crucial since people can choose how to care for their reproductive health. While weighing these technologies' possible advantages and risks, healthcare providers must respect patients' autonomy. Concerns about justice must also be addressed, ensuring that all people are privy to such services and technologies.

Resource Allocation

The equitable distribution of scarce resources remains one of healthcare's most challenging ethical problems. Decision-making goals in this domain are to allocate resources that consider all patients' requirements, guided by fairness. Nevertheless, Healthcare practitioners must handle challenging allocation issues in complex medical circumstances with limited resources.

Decision-making is influenced by ethical frameworks when resources, for instance, organs for transplantation, are few. For fairness in organ transplantation, allocation algorithms have been devised based on factors like a pressing need, medical necessity, and probability of success. Prioritizing those with the most urgent requirements and the potential to gain maximum benefit from the scarce resource is the goal of these frameworks.

Resource distribution is much more critical during public health emergencies like the COVID-19 epidemic. The allocation of resources, such as ventilators and personal protective equipment, among patients, must consider the principles of fairness and goodwill. When resources are limited, ethical rules and regulations are established to offer a framework for just and transparent decision-making.

Healthcare workers must do the arduous triage duty in complex medical situations where several patients need the same scarce resource. According to the extent of their disease and their prospects of life, patients are prioritized using triage guidelines. This procedure is governed by the moral values of justice and goodwill, which ensure that resources are given to people most in need of medical care and have the best chance of gaining from treatment.

Ethical Decision-Making Process

Making moral judgments in complex medical problems requires a systematic and careful approach. To achieve fair and responsible decisions, healthcare professionals must consider the earlier described ethical principles and follow an ethical decision-making process.

Professionals must first gather all relevant information on the patient's condition, outlook, available therapies, potential dangers, and benefits. This is necessary to maintain patient liberty and make informed decisions.

Second, professionals must thoroughly research the ethical ramifications of the scenario. This comprises determining the current ethical issues and assessing the possible impact of alternative solutions on all persons involved while also considering any relevant legal or professional guidelines.

Consultation and interdisciplinary collaboration are then vital in complex situations. Conversations with coworkers, ethics committees, or other medical professionals can provide a range of perspectives, help balance the ethical norms at risk, and ensure that a well-rounded decision is made.

Healthcare professionals should also be aware of their prejudices and attitudes to avoid any unwanted influence on decision-making. Obtaining more input from patients and their loved ones also makes it possible to understand their tastes, ideals, and problems fully.

After careful thought and study, a decision can finally be made after considering ethical standards, stakeholder perspectives, and the resources at hand. Documenting the decision-making process and the rationale behind the chosen course of action is necessary. 

Conclusion:                                                                                                                                           

Finally, medical ethics enables healthcare practitioners to make responsible and moral decisions by acting as a compass in complex medical circumstances and difficulties. Freedom, kindness, impartiality, and equity offer a robust framework for navigating murky ethical waters, ensuring that the patient's welfare comes first.

Treatment practitioners preserve people's rights to make decisions regarding their treatment by respecting patients' autonomy. This encourages patients and healthcare professionals to work together and feel empowered.

The beneficence concept exhorts healthcare personnel to act in their patient's best interests, supporting their well-being and guaranteeing they receive the best care possible. Applying this idea necessitates carefully weighing the advantages and disadvantages of various treatment alternatives.

The principle of non-maleficence seeks to remind medical personnel to "not harm." It forces them to prevent needless patient suffering and harm, averting adverse outcomes and enhancing patient safety.

The equitable distribution of scarce resources, equal access to healthcare services, and correcting imbalances across the healthcare system are all guided by justice. Healthcare practitioners must prioritize the medical requirements of patients while making decisions, taking into account both specific instances and the broader good of the community.

Healthcare practitioners sometimes face moral conundrums in complex medical issues requiring careful consideration and study. Professionals can think about ethical principles, seek out different viewpoints, and make well-informed conclusions by following a structured ethical decision-making process.

Healthcare workers can handle complex medical issues and ethical difficulties with honesty and compassion by abiding by these ethical standards and preserving the fundamentals of medical ethics. In the long run, using medical ethics to guide decision-making ensures that patients receive the best care possible while honoring the principles and ethical norms of the healthcare industry.

Have you ever felt like everyone around you has life all figured out, except you? Like you’re in a race with no map, while others seem to know exactly where they’re going? Each morning, you get up, put on your brightest smile, and present the best version of yourself to the world. But behind that smile and carefully curated image is a quiet, persistent voice whispering that you’re not enough. You watch others move through life with clarity and confidence, and you can’t help but wonder why you’re struggling to keep up.

Culture shock refers to the feelings of confusion, anxiety, and surprise that arise when one is introduced to a new environment characterized by unfamiliar languages, traditions, religions, social norms, and expectations. First-year students, are often most affected by culture shock as they adjust to the dynamics of university life.

New students entering university, whether local or international—may encounter various challenges such as adapting to digital learning platforms, interacting with individuals from diverse religious or cultural backgrounds, and navigating newfound independence. These adjustments can be overwhelming and emotionally demanding.

By Dan Oloo Otieno, Public Relations Student

Kenya's PR landscape is evolving with digital strategies, offering innovative engagement, data-driven insights, influencer collaboration, crisis management, and ethical considerations for impactful communication.

Public relations (PR) in Kenya is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by technological advancements and changing consumer behaviors. As the digital landscape evolves, traditional PR practices are being challenged, making way for innovative strategies to take center stage. This shift presents both opportunities and challenges for practitioners and the sector as a whole.

Innovative PR in Kenya begins with leveraging digital platforms to engage audiences effectively. Social media, in particular, has become a powerful communication tool, allowing brands to interact directly with their target market in real-time. By crafting compelling narratives and utilizing multimedia content, PR professionals can amplify brand messaging and foster meaningful connections with stakeholders.

Tarehe 7 Julai 2024, Chuo Kikuu cha Zetech kilifanya sherehe ya Siku ya Kiswahili, tukio la kipekee lililoleta pamoja wanafunzi, walimu, na wanajamii kutoka maeneo mbalimbali. Siku hii ililenga kuadhimisha lugha ya Kiswahili, ambayo ni alama ya utamaduni na umoja katika jamii za Kiafrika.

In the heart of Kenya, literature thrives as a dynamic force that reflects societal issues and amplifies the voices of its youth amid turbulent times. Amidst the rise of the Gen Z movement, the nation has witnessed a burgeoning literary scene that confronts and navigates complex issues such as police brutality, economic injustice, and political dissent.

Born into a digital era of unprecedented connectivity, Kenya’s Generation Z has found a potent voice through literature. From thought-provoking poetry slams in Nairobi’s bustling streets to viral social media campaigns, young writers are leveraging their platforms to critique societal norms and challenge systemic injustices. Writers like Pauline Kea of “Kigogo” and Ngugi Wa Thiong’o of “Ngaahika Ndeenda” are emblematic of this movement, using their penmanship to ignite conversations about identity, human rights, and the future of Kenya.
