    hi there...i would just like to ask, if you apply to become an enrolled nurse, do you still need to have 2years experience? thanks.

    A year of experience from a 100-1250 bed capacity tertiary hospital will do.

    I am an currently working in the US. My nurse education was in the UK where I worked as a nurse for 6 years prior to coming to the US - I have been here for 13 years.
    MY experience is vast 20 years as an RN , 18 of those years primarily in Emergency/Trauma setting - however I have worked occupational health, flight nurse and on a cruise ship for 10 months.
    I am a highly skilled nurse and currently studying my RN - BSN - MSN degree.
    I would like to work in Singapore - how do I go about doing this ?????
    It seems most advertisements are for Philippine Nationals or Singaporean Residents . Does this mean they do not hire US/UK nurses at all ?
    I do have 2 passports (Dual Nationality) US and UK .
    Can anyone advise ??
    Thanks So Much

    I'm sure prospected hospitals will consider your profile.But just wondering,why you want to work here in Singapore? have you learned about how much nurses are earning here?

    probably not very much ! Just a great location to work , close to all my freinds in asia. What is the process ? Just send my CV to a bunch of hospitals there?

    Location is one thing but you also have to consider a lot of things like comparing the working environment here and abroad,the stress that is so much of a task to handle,the so-many rules that causes unhappiness to nurses etc. Well, if you really are interested to work here after weighing the pros and cons,I think you may just submit your curriculum vitae and other qualifications and wait for their reply.Goodluck!!!

    Hi,
    My sister is a registered nurse in India with specialization in cardio-thoracic nursing. She wants to work in Singapore as RN. Is there any organization or employer who she can contact for help ? What are the requirements for the same ? Would greatly appreciate any help.

    With Regards,

    Definitely with your qualifications they will surely accommodate you. Singapore is a multi-racial country so as long as you are qualified you can work here. :wink2: However i think the wage for nurses here are not as high as compared to US or UK.
