Filipino Nurse waiting for SNB Approval

[escape2felicity]

Hi guys! I am a Filipino R.N. who is looking forward to work in Singapore as a Staff Nurse. Luckily, I have passed the employer's interview last May 2014 as well as the SNB Examination for Registered Nurses (Singapore Nursing Board). I took the board examination last May 2014 with the help of a local manpower agency here in the Philippines and the results were released last July 2014. After I was informed of my successful examination our batch were advised to pay the initial downpayment which is 50,000Php so that the papers/documents will be processed. I have submitted all the pertinent documents I needed to submit to the agency and some of those documents were sent directly from the university to SNB in Singapore- for the school documents like diploma, tor, etc. and also from the PRC Manila to SNB in Singapore-for the Certificate of Registration, PRC license card, etc. Since I worked in Saudi before I was also instructed to request a Certificate of Registration Copy from the Saudi Health Council (equivalent to PRC) directly from Saudi to SNB in Singapore. It so happen that i have friends that are still in the kingdom, so I asked them to do it for me. I got the Fedex tracking number and the Scanned receipt of the transaction as well. So I am sure that it already arrived in Singapore last year. Sorry for the long details but my concern is up until now, it will be almost a year this coming May and I did not yet receive my SNB approval which is needed so that I can work already in Singapore. I have followed up my application many many times to the coordinator of the agency that is handling my papers. And she says the same thing, that I have to wait. The agency I applied with is a well known agency that deployed numerous Filipino nurses to Singapore. I am really worried because we were more than a hundred in our batch and we are down to four applicants who are still waiting. Most of the applicants in our batch have been working in Singapore already since last January 2015. I just like to know if anyone of you guys have experienced this situation I am into right now or you know someone... As much as I want to apply in other agencies I can't because I already paid the initial downpayment and also my original documents are in their hands. Thanks and God bless.

hi! i just want to ask for how long did you wait to be approved by snb after the scfhs sent your certificate of good standing? coz i have been waiting for a month now, and i am very anxious coz the certificate of good standing is only valid for 3months and it cost a lot of money to request for another one. thank you

Hi. I know this thread is old but I just want to inquire if they are still hiring nurses from Middle east? I spoke with the agency currently hiring in Philippines and they said they are not accepting application with x-abroad experience. I'm presently in Saudi to be exact.

Hi Mam Elle! This is also I am asking before? but I saw agency in Philippines (online) that they are accepting Ex abroad(ex saudi) but need to pass the good standing coming from Saudi Council. I am not sure if that is updated.

I spoke to one of the agency to name Jedegal. They don't accept xabroad. I saw from FSL they accept but they don't have post yet for ICU position so I'm trying to apply directly from hospitals in Sg
